This is not the best way to do this. A better way is as follows:
1. Choose double spacing in the document dialog.
2. Use appropriate \renewcommands/\renewenvironment.
For example, to have single space for section headings, put the following in
the preamble:
\let\oldsection=\section
\renewcommand{\section}[1]{\begin{singlespace}\oldsection{#1}\end{singlespace}}
