General ⇒ Varied Paragraph Spacing

[jonw9]

Hi all, first post, although i have been getting help her for a while.

i am using a *.cls file provided by a professor for my thesis.

I seem to be doing ok, but there is one issue that is bothering me, and I think i want to "fix" it.

I understand that Latex varies the spacing in a sentance to get it to fit nicely on a line, but it seems to be doing this for paragraphs on a page.


some paragraphs have a single line between paragraphs, but others have almost 4! i assume this is to have the pages break nicely, but it appears sloppy to me to have such variances.

Is there a command I can use to eliminate this stretch?

Try \raggedbottom.
