Hello again,
I tried
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
in the preamble but there is no difference in the DVI output
I also tried
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{1*}{1*}
in the preamble but that didn't do anything either.
(by the way what do the *'s mean in the above command)
Any ideas ?
I have made a small trial file to try things out on, so I'm not using any
other packages that might conflict with titlesec.
