Hi Ricardo,
The following comes right out of my layout file, which is based on book.cls:
% ### MyEnumerate: Vertically denser version of Enumerate style ###
\newenvironment{myenumerateL}{%
~\\[-1.2\baselineskip]
\begin{enumerate}%
\setlength{\parsep}{-2pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{-2pt}
\setlength{\partopsep}{-3pt}
\setstretch{0.7}
}{
\end{enumerate}
~\\[-0.5\baselineskip]
}
The preceding's main effect is to space all list items closer to each other,
but the top "~\\[-1.2\baselineskip]" controls the distance of the list to the
preceding paragraph.
I chose to make a brand new environment, but you could have just as easily
done it in place like this:
\let\oldenumerate\enumerate
\let\oldendenumerate\endenumerate
And then oldenumerate in the begin and end.
