Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang,

I'm afraid I can't reduce the size or use multiple columns without
rendering the text to be unreadable.

All I need is that any material on the slides is centered both
vertically and horizontally and can be split over pages if needed. Is
there any way to get this?

\startxcell[align=right] right \stopxcell doesn't change alingment.

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
