How the !%#@ can I get LaTeX to change the line spacing in a tabbing
environment? i.e. the whole document is typeset at spacing 1.3, but
in the tabbing environment, I want to single space the text. Is this
possible? I tried \baselinestretch, \baselineskip, even \vspace*{-.3cm},
but nothing works! If someone can help me out, please e-mail me as I'm
frantically trying to finish my thesis and don't have time to monitor
the newsgroup.
Thanks in advance.

Try \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1} \tiny\normalsize just prior to the
tabbing environment and \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}
\tiny\normalsize just following it. Alternately, I suggest (once again)
setspace.sty, which as a documentstyle option easily supports this type of
thing and allows still more flexibility. Even in setspace, you would have
to issue a spacing command prior to the To retrieve setspace, include:
SENDME STY.SETSPACE
in the body of a mail message to FILE...@SHSU.BITNET (FILE...@SHSU.edu).
