Hi Anders, You may be better off using sectsty (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/sectsty.html) or by completely rewriting the section definition. After you get comfortable with the structure, I find that I prefer to completely redefine my section definitions. I've occasionally gotten weird behavior with sectsty (mostly with the Koma-Script Classes and memoir that have specialized macros for such customization).
For some specific examples, see: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/sectsty.html Even though these examples are specific to xetex, the basic syntax is the same for the other latex engines as well.

I redefine sections with the latex preamble \newcommand{\tmpsection}[1]{} \let\tmpsection=\section \renewcommand{\section}[1]{\vspace{-0.15in}\tmpsection{#1}\vspace{-0.1in}} It works as it's supposed to, but it makes latex unable to make a table of contents, and the 'references' heading comes out strangely (7 * in large and then references in small on the next line). What do I do wrong?
