How can I change line spacing?

The easiest way to do so is to insert the expression \linespread{x in} in the preamble. For instance, you may write \linespread{1.6} to make your document double-spaced. However, this will affect the line spacing of the entire document. You may wish to have some part of your document single-spaced, but it cannot be done with \linespread{length}. For this purpose, there is a package called setspace.sty. You need to obtain this package because it doesn't come with the basic LATEX package.
