I bet this is an old question, but how does one produce double-spaced documents with LaTeX?

If you want to change the overall line spacing of your document, specify the command: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2} to produce double spacing, for example. Usually a spacing of 1.5 of single line spacing is more pleasing. This command does not require a unit identifier.

I use the following two macros that I include in a style file; it allows me to switch between single and double spacing arbitrarily. %------------------------------------------------------------------------ % for a document with double spacing % % Somehow abstracts are typeset in single spacing; %------------------------------------------------------------------------ \def\SwitchtoDoubleSpacing{\multiply\baselineskip by 2} \def\SwitchtoSingleSpacing{\divide\baselineskip by 2} Sabih H.
