Page Layout ⇒ Table of Contents HELP

[cheburns]

I have to submit the draft of my thesis to my adviser tomorrow... and I can't get my table of contents to keep from running onto a second page. I have the following code now:

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
\linespread{0.6}
\tableofcontents       
\linespread{2}
\end{center}

But if I keep lowering the initial linespread value it doesn't change. Is there a way to tell it to fit all of the contents to a page??? Its only putting my reference section on the next page so its not unreasonable. Any help would be great.

Thanks

You could try changing your document margins...

i don't to change the whole document just this page tho... i supposed i could change the margins for this page but i feel like that would look more awkward then having the lines be less than double spaced. good point tho... if all else fails i can adjust the margins on that page.

Is there no command to force it to fit the table of contents to 1 page?

Describe a little bit clearer how much of the ToC appears on the next page. If there are only a few lines (one, two or three), you can enlarge the text body just for this single page. For more specific help this detailed information is needed.

only the last section:

8 References

appears on the next page... i changed the font size, but i would rather have the spacing between the lines decreased rather than have the text smaller in the table of contents than the rest of the paper. and like i said i tried using linespread and using a decimal but it stopped making the spacing less and didn't do anything... is there anything else i can try to get the spacing between the lines smaller so it fits to a page?

or try \enlargethispage{\baselineskip}
