[texhax] tables in columns in Beamer?

[Steve Schwartz]

Christopher,

I'm surprised what you tried doesn't work, but why not just put the two
side by side on the same line:

\includegraphics{} \begin{tabular}....\end{tabular}

and if you need more control, use the array package to control the
vertical positioning and wrap everything in a tabular environment:

\usepackage{array}
...

\begin{tabular}{m{0.4\textwidth}m{0.4\textwidth}}
\includegraphics{...} & \begin{tabular}...\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}

Use p{0.4....} to align on the top of the row, b{..} to align on the
bottom.

Alternatively, try putting your tabular inside an \mbox in a column. 

Steve
