Text Formatting ⇒ Different vertical spaces between paragraphs
Different vertical spaces between paragraphs
I am writing a two-column document and I find that there are large spaces between some paragraphs. I believe it is because LaTeX wants all columns be filled with text all the way down, but I would prefer to have a “ragged” bottom and keep all vertical separations between paragraphs the same. Is there a command for making LaTeX do this?

Different vertical spaces between paragraphs
Hi and welcome, the usual 
But i don't know if it works in twocolumn mode. Hint: Try to prepare an example document showing just the described feature (or problem). Makes testing a solution much easier. Works also when searching for the cause of an error. More details can be found at Creating a minimal working example.
\raggedbottom
comes to mind

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
Re: Different vertical spaces between paragraphs
\raggedbottom seems to work, also in two-column mode. ALmost all of the ugly paragraph separations disappeard. I will investigate the remaining ones. Thanks.
