Not when you add up characters. For each character, there should be an error, a difference in spacing between the MSWord font and the one from the alleged typewriter. There is simply no way that all of the characters could have exactly the same spacing. As you add characters to a line, the error would grow.

The differences can also cancel out on average. My point is that the difference can be too small to detect with the copies we have. The error would not be too great for an individual character, as long as the font is the same. Again, I am 100% sure these are forgeries, after all, there is not a single observable discrepancy with MS Word doc, but let us be super careful. It is very important to build the case without a shadow of doubt, since the stakes are enormous (Watergate level)
