I use the following two macros that I include in a style file; it allows me
to switch between single and double spacing arbitrarily.

%------------------------------------------------------------------------
% for a document with double spacing
%
% Somehow abstracts are typeset in single spacing;

\def\SwitchtoDoubleSpacing{\multiply\baselineskip by 2}

\def\SwitchtoSingleSpacing{\divide\baselineskip by 2}
