I was not clear enough:
I have created a custom format file "beamtikz" from the following file using
MikTeX's format making utility.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{wasysym} % for diameter symbol
\usepackage{array} % for tables
\usepackage{tikz} % for drawings
\dump
\endinput
I compile by beamer files by doing
Pdfetex "&beamtikz" file.tex
The preamble of file.tex is:
%%\documentclass{beamer} !!! Commented out
\makeatletter
address@hidden
\makeatother
\mode<handout>{
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{4 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=2.5mm,landscape]
\setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=black!5}
}
\AtBeginSection[]
{\begin{frame}<beamer>
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents[sectionstyle=show/shaded,subsectionstyle=show/show/hide]
\end{frame}}
Etc, etc...
The \documentclass command is commented out, because the format file contains
the beamer definitions. So AucTeX does not know that it is looking at a beamer
file. How do I inform it of that?
