I have a serries of equations in an eqnarray, I want to put some extra space
between them, however if I just put in a blank line Latex numbers this as if
it was an equation, which isn't the desired effect!
Can anyone suguest a way to do this?

First, please read the manual. In the index, under eqnarray, the last item says "space between rows in, 170" to quote p. 170 under Style Parameters: \jot The amount of extra vertical space added between rows in an eqnarray or eqnarray* environment. Therefore, \addtolength{\jot}{2\jot} will double the space between equations in these environments. Alternatively, try to \nonumber command: \begin{eqnarray} x & = & y \\ & & \nonumber \\ a & = & b \\ \end{eqnarray} -- James Darrell McCauley, Grad Res Asst, Spatial Analysis Lab Dept of Ag Engr, Texas A&M Univ, College Station, TX 77843-2117, USA (jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu, jdm5548@tamagen.bitnet)

Have you tried doing a \nonumber on the blank line?

This works, but you'll probably find that it produces too much space. Use \\[5pt] or whatever value gives you the best-looking results. See C.1.6, `The \\ command'. ________________ George V.
