hey bandit,
when was this document supposedly created??
Irrelevant. It has already been proven the bogus documents correspond to all word spacing, wrapping, and font rules used by Microsoft Word.
As a close inspection note, yes, it looks similar. However, examine it in relation to "o" and "t" (ot) letter combinations, it does not sandwich (kearn?) the letters into empty spaces like the word processed documents were.
No one said superscripts did not exist at all back then - they said they weren't available on common typewriters typically found in a local Guard base. A doc like this would have been more likely generated by the Air Force.
The FOIA reference indicates it is recent.
The flawlessly centered heading would have been a pain (possible, but undesireable to do) with a typewriter - but trivial with a word processor.
The frequency of boldface indicates recent creation. 30 years ago on a typewriter, boldface was either double-struck (making it darker, or wider in one dimension, but not wider in both dimensions as is the case here) or done with a different type ball (a hassle to swap, and certainly not swapped as often as used in this short document). Underlining or capitalization would be used instead.
This is a fixed-width font (except the superscripts).
So there is nothing interesting here.
How many typewriters have bold print??? Your posted document has bold print in selected locations.
I dug out my husband's orginal DD-214, and everything he kept in a special folder from his active duty during the same time period.
The type is totally different from what you show.
And he served a lot longer than Kerry. Four years, not four months.
Obviously this fellow coldfeet and his so-called FOIA document dump is a fraud.
Send this to Drudge, Fox News, Sean Hannity, Rush, News Max, Mark Levine and ABC Nightline.
A lot of this hate GW stuff has been created on the lunatic left's blog sites long before it hits the mainline news. The lying BS about GW/Rove exposing Valerie Plame had been blogging along for months before the NY Slimes made it front page.

DAN CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH
“Dan Rather is the undisputed head pooh-bah of the news division at CBS. Rather has spent 40 years solidifying his position. His former colleague Bernard Goldberg reports that Mr. Rather is extremely sensitive to criticism from any source. In his book "Bias," Mr. Goldberg quotes CBS News President Andrew Haywood: "Dan can't distinguish between mainstream criticism and criticism coming from the extremists. It's all the same to him." Goldberg writes that in the 1980s there was a vice president at CBS whose unofficial title was "vice president in charge of Dan Rather. "His main job was keeping Dan Rather happy." Little wonder, then, that CBS News refuses to acknowledge the liberal bias that is a staple of CBS News. No one can get through to Dan Rather. He is impervious to criticism.”

Wondering about tab-sets here. Why weren't they used in "Past Duty Assignments . . .?"
It's no problem doing this with an electronic typewriter or word processor.

What I think is that someone from the Kerry campaign might have fed these docs to CBS, but they have been out and about on the internet for awhile.
Compare this Democrat.com Doc with the CBS Fakes Excerpt:Would appear some democrat by the name of coldfeet has made very similar documents as those CBS used. Notice the use use of the superscript in the below sample document. A article on Bush AWOL on democrat.com that was written in 2000 links to it .....
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
