I don't know if you have missed anything or not but one way to do this
seems to be to use the setspace package and a bit of ERT. A quick test
seems to indicate that \usepackage{setspace} in the preamble and a
|\begin{doublespacing} and \ end{doublespacing} before and after any text
in the article turns out a doublespaced PDF.See http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/122487/linespacing-latex-for-just-a-few-lines On 27 October 2015 at 01:58, Jerry <lancebo...@qwest.net> wrote: > The journal to which I plan to submit a manuscript requires double > spacing.
