I've been having lots of trouble getting a paper of mine double spaced using La-TeX, the book I have tells me to use \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2} to get double spacing, but this hasn't has any effect at all. I've asked everyone I know here, and have come up with nothing. I'm a relatively new La-TeX user, am I missing anything terrible obvious?? Thanks in advance for whatever advice this generates...

Well, 1. There is a doublespace.sty in the archives (but I forget how you get to them, maybe somebody else? 2. \baselinestretch should work. Are you putting it in the preamble? It will not generate very please double-space effects, though; it is suitable only for draft work. -- -- Brian, the Man from Babble-on. ...!mcnc!rti!sas!bts -- "Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of" -- THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
