Post by isifesai »

Please I was asked to format my tex document so that it will be equivalent of micosoft word document with font size 12 point, Times New Roman and line spacing 1pt. Please I need help

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Perhaps like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[fontsize=12bp,headings=standardclasses]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tgtermes}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\linespread{1.083333}
\blinddocument
\end{document}
But you can show the result to your supervisor to confirm if it meets the expectations or not.

Or make a MS Word print and hold the printed pages next to each other, or behind each other against light.

Thanks Stefan. I tried the code but it could not run on my basic miktex- 2.9.4250.

What happens? Do you get an error message?
