Re: Redefining sections

Thanks, it seems the titlesec package is quite flexible. The secsty package seems limited; for example it cannot redefine spacing before and after section headings, which was exactly what I wanted here (I needed a document to fit 15 pages). I will try to use the titlesec package.
