Ideally I would like to just have double spacing, which is easy for me to do in Microsoft Word.
But I'd rather get it right in LaTeX. At the moment my entries are a little tight.
(I have the format that I actually need in place, so the example below contains a lot of macros which I need.)
Can anyone help?
