As shown above, one line starts in a normal line. Then I use a column. Then the second line is coming from the column. But I want to have these two lines to start from the same position. Please any one help here. The code used in beamer here.

```
\begin{itemize}
\item Line starts in a normal
\end{itemize}
\begin{columns}[c]
 \column {0.5\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item Line starts in a column
\end{itemize}
\end{columns} 
```

Thanks

By default, the margins around columns are different than for normal text. However with the `onlytextwidth` option you can make them the same:

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}
	
\begin{frame}
	\begin{itemize} 
  \item Line starts in a normal 
  \end{itemize} 
  \begin{columns}[c,onlytextwidth] 
  \column{0.5\textwidth} 
    \begin{itemize} 
      \item Line starts in a column 
    \end{itemize} 
  \end{columns}
\end{frame}	
	
\end{document}
```
