Using the following code, to justify item text, how can I prevent the indentation before the item text, and hide the bullets.

I tried \hspace {-.2cm} and \item[] but both did not work.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\let\olditem\item
\renewcommand\item{\olditem\justifying}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item \lipsum[1-1]
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

enter image description here

  • you almost never need \justifying which is the default for tex anyway. If you don't want bullets or indent why use the itemize environment? why not just \begin{frame}\ipsum[1]\end{frame} ?? – David Carlisle Oct 04 '18 at 19:25
  • \item[] would not work as you have defined it to be \olditem\justifying[] so \olditem won't see the [] – David Carlisle Oct 04 '18 at 19:31
  • This was just a MWE. there are several items included in the original document. – Hany Oct 04 '18 at 20:02

    so your question is even less clear: do you want to remove the bullet from all the items or just one? – David Carlisle Oct 04 '18 at 20:03
  • I want to remove the bullet from all or selected items, with no indentation. – Hany Oct 04 '18 at 20:04

    I'd have thought you could just have used \item[] (without the \justifying redefinition that stops [] and beamers <> options.) but I can't really guess what layout you intend with an itemized list with only some items bulleted. Hopefully samcarter's answer covers it anyway:-) – David Carlisle Oct 04 '18 at 20:08

I don't really understand why you use an itemization and not just normal text, but you can remove the bullet with \setbeamertemplate{itemize item}{} and the indentation with \setlength{\leftmargini}{0cm}.

Be warned that you'll use all the nice beamer features like the possibility to use overlays with your \item redefinition. I suggest to use this redefinition of \itemize instead: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/387884/36296

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\let\olditem\item
\renewcommand\item{\olditem\justifying}

\setbeamertemplate{itemize item}{}
\setlength{\leftmargini}{0cm}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
text 
\begin{itemize}
\item \lipsum[2]
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
