Thanks to your messages, I think I have understood a little bit how to use \rput. Here is my summary: While building a slide, the only moment where we are sure of the cursor position is at the beginning, just after the \begin{slide}{title}. So, the \rput commands must be used at this moment with the appropriate position parameters, avoiding the use of \(h|v)space. As the \rput is placed at the beginning of the slide, one has to play with \onslide to deal with the apparition order of the elements. Here is my example: \begin{slide}{Example with figure} \onslide{4}{ \rput[br](0.74\slidewidth,-0.72\slideheight){\includegraphics[height=0.35\slideheight]{Fig.eps}} } \onslide{1-}{ \begin{itemize} \item 1 \pause \item 2 \pause \item 3 \end{itemize} } \end{slide} ------------- Thanks to you all and have a nice end of year! -- Valérie Meille
