Issue with line spacing

Post by peikingd »

Hi all,

I am writing my University project report in LaTeX and have to comply to regulations, such as a ridiculously large 8mm line spacing!!! I have used the package setspace and the command

Code: Select all

\setstretch{1.7}
in the preamble to achieve it. However, this (approximately) doubles the space between everything, i.e. Section headers, rows of a matrix, table of contents etc. I want a solution which just affects body text. Is this possible?

Many thanks
