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?
