Hi,

I am a new user of MikTex and TeXnicCenter. Can someone suggest me way to do formating of my document? I tried but could not get what I want in the documentation.

1. How do I change increase/decrease line spacings within a paragraph? How do I chang line spacings between paragraphs?
2. How do I set page margins?

Thank you

Omkar

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

To change the margins and the page layout, use the geometry package. Use the setspace package to change the inter-line spacing. If you want to change the vertical separation between paragraphs, you will have to change the value of \parskip. Refer to l2tabu for warnings and advise.

Read the packages documentation to see all the options they offer.

Edit: spelling issues
