The solution of the first question is easy. It requires only to read
Lamport's LaTeX manual properly (Rule of thumb: If it does not work
for the n-th time, read the reference manual!). The explanation is
given on the page 155. The \baselinestretch parameter does the
required work. You can use it in the following way:
AFTER the \documentstyle..., but BEFORE \begin{document} you write
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2}
for doublespaced documents. As it is explained in the manual, you can
use a decimal number (1.5, 2, 3.14, etc) for \baselinestretch.
