LaTeX Space

Space between Columns: Reduce Column Paddings

  \setlength{\tabcolsep}{-2pt}   % set length to -2pt
  \addtolength{\tabcolsep}{-2pt} % reduce space by -2pt

Space between Rows:

  \def\arraystretch{1.5}

Horizontal Alignmenti (requires package array)

  p{width} % equivalent to \parbox[t]{width}
  m{width} % centered vertically
  b{width} % equivalent to \parbox[b]{width}
  \newcolumntype{M}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{#1}}
  \newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}

Wide Table Option: Shrink Table to Width

  \resizebox{\columnwidth}{!}{ \begin{tabular}{} ...  \end{tabular} }

Math Space

  \arraycolsep=5pt                  % distance between 2 columns 
  \thinmuskip=3mu                   % space between ordinary and operator atoms 
  \medmuskip=4mu plus 2mu minus 4mu % space between ordinary and binary atoms 
  \thickmuskip=5mu plus 5mu         % space between ordinary and relation atoms 

Vertical Space:

  \setlength\jot{-30pt}
  \renewcommand\arraystretch{1}
  \def\>{\mskip\medmuskip}
  \def\;{\mskip\thickmuskip}
  \def\!{\mskip-\thinmuskip

Before/After Math Expressions:

  \abovedisplayskip=12pt plus 3pt minus 9pt 
  \belowdisplayskip=12pt plus 3pt minus 9pt

  \abovedisplayshortskip=0pt plus 3pt 
  \belowdisplayshortskip=7pt plus 3pt minus 4pt

Iteration and Emulation Space

  \def\itemhook{\topsep=1ex \itemsep=0ex}
  \def\enumhook{\topsep=0ex \itemsep=0ex}
  \def\descripthook{\topsep=0ex \itemsep=0ex}

Heading Space

\usepackage[medium,compact]{titlesec}
\titlespacing*{\section}{0pt}{*0.8}{*0.8}
\titlespacing*{\subsection}{0pt}{*0.8}{*0.8}
\titlespacing*{\subsubsection}{0pt}{*0.3}{*0.3}

Caption Space

\abovecaptionskip=3pt % above caption
\belowcaptionskip=3pt % below caption

Vertical Space for Flating

  \textfloatsep=3pt % between top and bottom of float and text
  \intextsep=3pt    % between floats

Modify Enumeration: \renewcommand{\labelenumi}{[\Alph{enumi}]}

Figure

Wrapfigure: Required package: wrapfig

  \begin{wrapfigure}[16]{r}{0.6\textwidth}  % [16] is optional, generally works better

  \caption{Figure Caption} \label{Fig:Caption}
