I would like itemize with no indent in a IEEE two columns paper. I already used: the solution proposed here: itemize, removing natural indent

That is by adding \usepackage{enumitem} and 

\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
  \item one 
  \item two
  \item three
\end{itemize}

But it seems that with IEEE format I can not add :

\usepackage{enumitem}

at the begining of the paper, since when I compile it says:

enumitem.sty: 45: LaTex Error: Command Label indent already defined, or name ind... illegal, see p. 192 of the manual.

What can I do if I would like to remove natural indent before items, in this case? I add that I would like the whole text that comes in the item has no indent not just the item's first line.

    Welcome to TeX.SX! The IEEEtran class is incompatible with enumitem. – egreg Jun 02 '15 at 20:29
  • Also, please consider adding a full minimal working example (http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-asked-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that), so we can better help you. Welcome to TeX.SE! – dgoodmaniii Jun 02 '15 at 20:38

IEEEtran completely redefines the default list environments. However, you can pass options via a newly-defined optional argument:

enter image description here

\documentclass[twocolumn]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{showframe,lipsum}% Just for this example
\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]
\begin{itemize}[
    \setlength{\IEEElabelindent}{\dimexpr-\labelwidth-\labelsep}% Wrapping of text beyond first line of \item
    \setlength{\itemindent}{\dimexpr\labelwidth+\labelsep}% identation for each new \item
    \setlength{\listparindent}{\parindent}% Restore regular paragraph indentation
  ]
  \item one 
  \item \lipsum[2-3]
  \item three
\end{itemize}

\end{document}
