I want to change the separation between list elements in an itemize environment in LaTex, but I don't know how. I have tried: \begin{itemize}{\itemsep 2in} ... \end{itemize} This doesn't change the separation distance at all. I would appreciate any advice on how to do this. Thanks in advance, Barbara Lerner (blerner@cs.umass.edu)

So the assignment \itemsep=2in is grouped by the parenthesis... and at the end of the group (denoted by the right } after 2in) the old value of \itemsep is restored. \begin{itemize}\itemsep 2in ... \end{itemize} works. -bernd __________________________________________________________________________ Bernd Raichle, Student der Universit"at Stuttgart | "Le langage est source privat: Stettener Str. 73, D-7300 Esslingen | de malentendus" email: raichle@azu.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de | (A. de Saint-Exupery)
