Text Formatting ⇒ Reducing space after heading in ToC

[devo]

Greetings. I have a simple problem, the solution to which is eluding me.

I want to reduce the space between the heading and first item in my table of contents.

At present, I have the following:

\pagestyle{fancyplain}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{\LARGE Contents}
\tableofcontents
\thispagestyle{empty}

All I want to do is insert \vspace{-4ex} between the heading and the first chapter.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi devo,

welcome to the board!
You could use \addtocontents:

Code: Select all

addtocontents{toc}{\vspace{-4ex}}
