Andre and Dirk's suggestions will probably work. But before I installed the Ae option in PMX, whenever I tried these sorts of adjustments I would very often have problems with systems spilling over onto an extra page. I wanted Dieter to send me his source, first to confirm my suspicion that he had in fact not used M-Tx, and second, to demonstrate how to use Ae and then make the kinds of adjustments he wants by using \spread. Ae has the advantage that no matter what you do to vertical spacing within a page, page breaks will always be where you want them, and no systems will ever spill over onto an extra page.
