Page Layout ⇒ Linespread in pt ?

[asmodeos]

Hello everybody,

I apologize in advance for my poor english, I'm not a native speaker.

I would like to set the linespread of my tex document in pt (10pt actually). I tried it with :

- \linespread command. It didn't work
- setspace package & setstretch, it didn't work

In fact I have to set the linespread as it is for 1.5 in Word (10pt) but the \onehalfspacing and \linespread{1.3} are very smaller. The linespread{1.5} is too close from doublespacing.

Any idea ? Thanx in advance !

Is

\setlength{\baselineskip}{10pt}

what you're after?

(Though IIRC points in TeX differ from points in Word.)

The predefined settings of the setspace package and the capabilty of its \setstretch command are more appropriate then those of Word. For reproducing Word documents you may take a look at the wordlike package.

thanx for all you advices. I'll check the wordlike package. I hate using Word but many of my professors at College give orders which are related to Word (such as 1.5 linespread) for papers redaction. They don't know TeX...
