line length

Post by tarektarek »

Hi,
I want to know how I can set the line length to 6.5 inch, is it using \textwidth? Another question, I want to shrink the space between any two lines in the bibliograph. I am including a filename.bib file at the end of the tex file.
Ex: \bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{IEEEabrv, filename}
I tried to change the entry in the IEEEtran1 from baselinestretch{1.5} to baselinestretch{0.4}, but it is not working. Can someone point out what is the problem.
Thanks

For the first question: Use the geometry package, it takes care of correct margin settings and the like.
