Hi Eric, thanks for the feedback. I switched to H:2 but get no difference in
the output:

* Introduction
** A simple slide
This slide consists of some text with a number of bullet points:

- the first, very @important@, point!
- the previous point shows the use of the special markup which
  translates to the Beamer specific /alert/ command for highlighting
  text.


The above list could be numbered or any other type of list and may
include sub-lists.

This slide consists of some text with a number of bullet points:

\begin{itemize}
\item the first, very @important@, point!
\item the previous point shows the use of the special markup which
translates to the Beamer specific \emph{alert} command for highlighting

Here's the .emacs file I use:

;; Do not show welcome screen
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)

;; Load Emacs Org-Mode
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/emacs-24.3/MyLisp/org-8.2.6/lisp/")

;; load the latex extension
(require 'ox-html)
(require 'ox-latex)
(require 'ox-ascii)
(require 'ox-beamer)


;; Load Recentfile code, see entry in  menu
(require 'recentf)
(recentf-mode 1)
(setq recentf-max-menu-items 25)
(global-set-key "\C-x\ \C-r" 'recentf-open-files)

;; show no startup-screen
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)

;; just answer Emacs' question with 'y' or 'n'
(defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
