Double-Spacing an ACM Proceedings Article in LaTeX

latex, spacing, templates, tex

Solution

I believe you want to use `\usepackage{doublespace}` to double-space your document. To put in a block of singlespacing, surround it with `\begin{singlespace}` and `\end{singlespace}`.

Problem

I am using the acm LaTeX template and I have trouble making my paper double spaced. My LaTeX document looks like the following: ``` \documentclass{acm_proc_article-sp} \usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing \begin{document} ... \end{document} ``` When I compile the above document using pdflatex, I get the following error message on the line that I use the command `\doublespacing`: ``` Missing number, treated as zero \doublespacing ```
