hi!
Is there a way to center the contents of a page *horizontally* in
slitex?  (it automatically does vertical centering)
The problem is that I often have a bold title and a few bulleted
short items on a page, and they end up leaving too much space on the
right hand side.  This causes problems when I try to take photographs
of the slide by zooming in (the left side of the foto "falls off" the page).

Example:

If my page currently page has:

|--------------|
|              |
| Title        |
|              |
|   item1      |
|              |
|   item2      |
|              |
|              |
|--------------|

Then I'd like to figure out how to get something like

|--------------|
|              |
|   Title      |
|              |
|     item1    |
|              |
|     item2    |
|              |
|              |
|--------------|


(please note: \begin{center} etc. don't help with this problem)

	
Thanks.
