I'm going to follow the advice a former student gave to me: if you can't answer the question, argue the premise. Any reason you need minipages as opposed to columns? To make this slide, I would start with a Frame environment, then under that create a "Columns Center Aligned" environment and nest it under the Frame. From there, I'd create a "Column" environment, setting its width and nesting it under the "Columns Center Aligned" environment. Next, add content and nest it under the "Column". Now repeat with a second "Column" and more content. One annoying feature to note: if you go back and add something under the first column, it de-nests the second column. Not fatal, but you need to keep an eye on it. Paul
