Text Formatting ⇒ Vertical spacing around headings

[ck9]

Hi I'm currently using the following in the preamble: -

Code: Select all

\titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{*0}{*-2}
\titlespacing{\subsection}{0pt}{*1}{*-2}
\titlespacing{\subsubsection}{0pt}{*1}{*-2}
\titlespacing{\bodymath}{0pt}{*-12}{*-12}

And it produces spacing like what can be seen in the two attached images. Could you please suggest some better values so the gap beneath the section headings and the math is closer to the text below?

Also the materials and methods title shouldn't have all that space above it (the top margin is ~2.5cm and looks ok on other pages).

Thanks

I guess you could try \vspace{-3mm} for the first problem and \cleardouble page before the title for the second problem. Hope this helps.

Clarify especially the setup of your interline spacing by means of a minimal working example (MWE). There could be a clash between two packages.
