When creating a beamer presentation in LaTeX, I have so many sections and frames, that the headline with the navigation bar is too long for the frame. Also, the table of contents is too long. I know that I can change the fontsize for the TOC, but is there a possibility to arrange the TOC in 2 (or more) columns? And is it possible to arrange the headline in more then 1 (say, 2) lines?

Working example:

\documentclass[ngerman]{beamer}
\usetheme{Frankfurt}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame} \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections] \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\section{Abschnitt} \subsection{Abschnitt} \begin{frame} Abschnitt \end{frame}
\end{document}

EDIT: The first question has been solved, thx to samcarter. For the second question the code in the given link does not work for me. Since I am using the theme Frankfurt, I thought I had to exchange \progressbaroptions{headline=sections} by \Frankfurtoptions{headline=sections} but this does not work. If I leave away that line, no headline at all is shown.

  • Welcome to TeX.SE! How long are your Beamer presentations? Unless they're several hours long, is there a benefit -- to your audience, and to you -- to having so many sectioning commands? Not every frame needs a sectioning command. – Mico Mar 19 '14 at 19:45
  • @Mico: Thx. The presentation I am now working on will be about 3-4 hours long (maybe even longer). Not like in the example above, every section consits of more than one frame. – Martin Mar 19 '14 at 19:56
  • You may (should ?) use \part... – Paul Gaborit Mar 20 '14 at 06:00
  • Hi! Your question contains two separate questions. As far as I see, the first question about multi-column ToC is answered in Beamer: Vertical alignment of multi-column ToC, the second question about multi-line navigation bullets in Navigation bar is too long on progressbar theme, can it wrap?. (Thanks to samcarter for pointing these out.) – yo' Mar 21 '14 at 14:10
  • @Martin: I was accepting your edit meanwhile mods merge your account. Please, notice that progress bar theme is a bit different with respect to themes native in Beamer. Hence, with Frankfurt, you don't have \Franfkfurtoptions way to customize the theme. The beameruserguide will tell you how to do. – Claudio Fiandrino Mar 21 '14 at 15:09
  • It looks like you've got two separate accounts. The StackExchange staff can merge them together for you. – jub0bs Mar 21 '14 at 16:23
  • @Claudio: I've looked in the beameruserguide but couldnt find how I have to modify the code (especially since \progressbar is used inside the code, too) – Martin Mar 24 '14 at 08:42
  • @Martin: if you use Frankfurt theme, there is no progessbar (unless you add it manually). Hence, you can't use explicit facilities introduced by progress bar theme: one of them, I suppose, is the \progressbaroptions. You have to go with \setbeamertemplate instead. – Claudio Fiandrino Mar 24 '14 at 08:50
  • @Claudio: Thx, but what do I have to write inside \setbeamertemplate to get a multi-line navigationbar? – Martin Mar 24 '14 at 10:53
