Steve, You seem to enjoy re-inventing the wheel so you'll have fun with this. If you read the document you'll find a wide range of layouts and colors. Within those, you can tweak to your heart's content. But, that's not as much fun as starting from scratch.
The funniest thing was placing a graphic on a page. When I make Powerpoint presentations I like to put the graphic at the side of the bullet points, somewhere where the bullet points are short. I couldn't figure a way to do that in Beamer (makes sense, what I describe is fingerpainting), so instead I put the graphic at the bottom and then preceded it with the following ERT:
Well, I do this on a regular basis. It's not difficult at all. RTFM.
In the long run I don't know if I'll be doing these slides in Beamer,
Nah! Go back to PowerPoint. Easier. Rich
