You haven't said what version of org you are using. The above would probably work with versions of org 7.x but for 8.x, you need a different set of commands to achieve what you want. The following should do what you want: #+begin_src org ,#+TITLE: test ,#+OPTIONS: H:3 ,#+startup: beamer ,* blah ,** test ,*** Food ,**** Fruit :B_block:BMCOL: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :BEAMER_env: block :END: - apple - banana ,**** Vegetables :B_block:BMCOL: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :BEAMER_env: block :END: - artichoke - broccoli #+end_src Note the removal of the LaTeX class declaration. In v8, blocks have headings ignored by default if they are columns so you need to specify a block type explicitly. Using the beamer startup directive allows you to easily specify what you want on a headline by C-c C-b. HTH, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.50.1, Org release_8.3.3-449-gd85ff3
