Documents unearthed by CBS News that raise doubts about whether President Bush fulfilled his obligations to the Texas Air National Guard include several features suggesting that they were generated by a computer or word processor rather than a Vietnam War-era typewriter, experts said yesterday.

CYA Memo's
Sure, you write CYA memo's.
But, did you "ever" WRITE "CYA" that as the Subject Line of your memo?

I can't read all the posts, so sorry if this has been covered:
There was caution early, notably from buckhead but not only him, that there were other IBM machines that COULD so proportional, superscripts, etc. However, they were very difficult machines to use, and would NOT have been used by someone other than a professional officeworker or typesetter.
It is not hard to imagine that the Bush "official document" you note would be done by such a person, especially if it were being added to over the course of time by various people in different offices. However, Bush's CO would not have dreamed of wasting time using such a machine for a "memo" of any type. It took too long to create documents on such machines since each line apparently had to be typed at least twice for such effects.
The reproductions of the sKerry campaign forgeries on Microsoft Word clearly demonstrate that was a forgery.

the CBS News official said. "Journalistically, we've gone several extra miles."
What does THAT mean?
It means, there is truth, and then there are the extra 'facts' that SeeBS adds to the truth to make it their own 'special truth'.
Y'see.

Since I posted the original article, I've learned a bit more. Take a look at the image below:
The first line is some stuff I pulled from the forged memo and the second line is taken from the official Bush document. Here's what I know now:
- The font on the second line is not proportional, and none of Bush's documents are proportional
- The superscript in the official document appears to have an underlines superscript ( th ), which may have been available as a special key on some typewriters, but there is no confirmation of this yet. The forged document has no underline
- The superscript in the forged memo is raised above the line, while the real document doesn't extend above the line. To believe the forgery, you have to believe that Killian turned the typerwirte 1/2 noth up to type the th then back down.
- the "4" in the date of the forged document is closed at the top (as opposed to the 4 in the second line image above) which has not been found to be on any typewriter font available at the time. This is a feature that has often been used by experts to find forgeries.
- Supposedly, the vertical spacing is 13 points in the forgery, which doesn't match typewriter spacing.
