Take the 2-minute tour ×  I would like to typeset a draft of my
document with double linespacing so that my collaborators have
space to write in their edits (with a pen). How do I do it?

accepted  The setspace package does it for you, but it turns
doublespacing off within footnotes and floats like figure and

to use setspace, perhaps because of the mentioned reason, you
could use the command \linespread, for instance:   A package may
be preferred over such a command though.  share|improve this
