double/single spaced formatting

Post by sourabh »

Hello,
I am using memoir class to format my thesis. When I use DoubleSpacing in my tex file, the whole document coming to be double-spaced, i.e. even the figure captions, references when it runs over a line. How do I get rid of double spacing in these while keeping the other parts of the documents double-spaced?

double/single spaced formatting

Hi Sourabh,

use the setspace package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespace
It switches off double spacing in footnotes and floats, so also in figure and table captions.
