Text Formatting ⇒ Spacing only the Text without Captions and Footnotes

[AstroRicky]

Hi everybody,
I am new of the forum, which I find really useful and well maintained.

My topic:
I'm using \linespread{1.3} for spacing my text “one and a half” (document class: book), which works as expected. The problem is that it also spaces captions and footnotes. It is possible to instruct LaTeX to let these two unchanged?

Thanks,
Riccardo

Forget the \linespread command and use the setspace package instead. If captions are not single-spaced by default, take also a look at the caption package.


Best regards and welcome to the board

It works!
I wish to express you my deep gratitude for solving an issue which was driving me nuts!
