Hi,

you could use the setspace package. Have a look into the setspace.sty file for its documentation.

i tried it but didnt seem to work for me
i put this at the top...
\usepackage{setspace}
then when i wanted to start using double spaces, i did
\doublespacing
\begin{abstract}
text text text
text text text
\end{abstract}

...but the abstract still came out singlespaced

The problem is not comprehensible for me.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
\usepackage{blindtext}


\begin{document}
  \begin{abstract}
    \blindtext
  \end{abstract}

  \blindtext
\end{document}

Best regards
