Thanks for the explanation. After fiddling with this for some time now, I have a feel it would be good if (La?)TeX wasn't as smart when it comes to typesetting slides. It is a great tool for ordinary typesetting, but typesetting of slides inevitably needs more manual work than a paper or a thesis. And then it feels like the smartness (for instance when it comes to stretchable spacing between lines) gets in my way. Nevertheless, I think texpower is a great bundle -- with some fiddling and reading of manuals, I usually get it to do what I want. Thanks for your time!
