Hi, 

If any one knows, how to get 'double line spacing' in  a document prepared
using 'Latex', please let me know at your earliest.

Thanks

To produce a double-spaced version of your LaTeX document
you can set

       \baselinestretch=2

or adjust \baselineskip  accordingly (see pp. 155, 94 of the
LaTeX book).

I only use plain TeX, not LaTeX.  I adjust line spacing by changing
the \baselineskip value, as in
     
   \baselineskip=20pt
     
or whatever.  There are a couple of other related parameters to adjust
for very tall or deep boxes that would overlap another line.  See the
TeX Book.
     
Hope this helps.
