[Tex/LaTex] How to change line spacing in footnotes

footnotesline-spacingsetspace

I have a document with line spacing 1.5. But I want the footnotes line spacing 1. How could I do this? I tried the package setspaces but does not allow me this option.

The package you need to load for the purpose at hand is called setspace, not setspaces. After loading it, you can issue the command

\onehalfspacing

to set up one-and-one-half line-spacing in the main body of the text; text in footnotes will remain single-spaced.

The setspace package's \doublespacing command and the package option of the same name should not affect footnotes.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum*[1]\footnote{\lipsum*[1]}

\end{document}

The error in your comment says, that \@currsize is undefined. It is set by \@setfontsize, which is called by LaTeX font size commands such as \Large, \small etc.

So you could fix it by defining \@currsize yourself, such as by

\let\@currsize\normalsize

but I recommend to define a font size in your class before you load setspace, which fixes it. Here's an example from bk10.clo, loaded by the book class:

\renewcommand\normalsize{%
   \@setfontsize\normalsize\@xpt\@xiipt
   \abovedisplayskip 10\p@ \@plus2\p@ \@minus5\p@
   \abovedisplayshortskip \z@ \@plus3\p@
   \belowdisplayshortskip 6\p@ \@plus3\p@ \@minus3\p@
   \belowdisplayskip \abovedisplayskip
   \let\@listi\@listI}
\normalsize
