I do have a windows operating system. Do you know the other prerequisites? I added the --enable-write18 (MiKtex) to the command lines of latex and pdflatex, but no luck. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks I'll give it a try.

text text text text text text text text text text text te-
xt text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text te-
xt text text text text text text text text text text text
text text ...

Hello all,

Trying to format a paper in report mode and I manually set the margins using the geometry package. I didn't like how latex was hyphenating so many words so I used the hyphenat package with the "none" option so that there was no automatic hyphenation. But now, some words are overlapping ...

This works. Thanks a lot for the help! Hopefully I'll get good enough at this so I can return the favor.

Hello all,

I am fairly new to latex and am currently writing up my master's thesis (of course it has to be in a completely illogical format). I am curious if anyone knows how to bypass latex's default spacing for equations and manually enter the desired spacing so that there is one double space ...
