The first step to answer this question is read the package manual.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace}

Thank you. I was prompted to install a package for the setspace.

Similarly, for the \geometry, how do we invoke 'wide margins'? Is that a std defn? Or do we actually key in numbers for the margins?

Please read the manual and choose appropriate values for the page dimensions on your own. To get the manual, follow the links I gave above or open a command prompt on your machine and type in the following line.

Code: Select all

texdoc geometry
