>>In the roundtable discussion on Fox News, they pointed out the SPACE between the 147 and the "th" (also goes for the 9921 and the "st") was probably done so that Microsoft Word wouldn't automatically correct it! I can see it now...that little animated paperclip Help thingy keeps wanting to correct the error and the person who is doing the forgery is ready to smash his computer!
Would a person actually type 147th with a space between the 147 and the th? I think not.<<
It's kind of funny. All they had to do was type 147th and then hit "undo." The undo will undo the autocorrect that was just done. I use it all the time to undo caps and other stuff microsoft tries to do for me, even when I don't want it done.
Dude, these guys faking these documents were low-powered morons. They used double-spaces instead of single after sentences, they used a particular (and I might add, quite subtle) version of a font that didn't exist in 1972. TNR did exist then, but the TrueType font used on PCs were not created until fairly recently. There are slight differences in letter spacing and character pairs. I'm looking at the letter spacing between the original and the thing I typed and laughed out loud when I saw the default MSWord settings matched a typewriter from 1972!
Again, we're talking DEFAULT settings!
Finally, I measured the space between paragraphs with a pica ruler. Uh, they didn't use carriage returns. The settings were done in picas.
