The right-wingers claim that superscript proportional spacing was not available in the early seventies. That's a lie.
http://www-1.ibm.com/ibm/history/history/year_1941.html, "IBM announces the Electromatic Model 04 electric typewriter, featuring the revolutionary concept of proportional spacing. By assigning varied rather than uniform spacing to different sized characters, the Type 4 recreated the appearance of a printed page, an effect that was further enhanced by a typewriter ribbon innovation that produced clearer, sharper words on the page. The proportional spacing feature became a staple of the IBM Executive series typewriters." http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/091104W.shtml "CBS News Anchor Dan Rather says many of those raising questions about the documents have focused on something called superscript, a key that automatically types a raised 'th.' Critics claim typewriters didn't have that ability in the 1970s. But some models did. In fact, other Bush military records already released by the White House itself show the same superscript – including one from 1968. Some analysts outside CBS say they believe the typeface on these memos is New Times Roman, which they claim was not available in the 1970s. But the owner of the company that distributes this typing style says it has been available since 1931." Additionally, in 1964, the IBM Selectric Composer could do all that Word can do today as to format. By 1960, the "superscript" and "proportional spacing" Executive IBM typewriter could do most if not all that seen on the docs, including the raised 'th' via the extra key one purchased. The Military records show that the Composer was on Military bases in '69. See for yourself: Record Released By Bush  New CBS Record

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/...mos/index.html Say what you will, but last night on CNN, they showed someone who took a transparency of the original, and held it up with one made on Microsoft Word, and.....oh my god......they matched! WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!  ~Alex

Did you read what I posted above? Microsoft Word is based on those old Selectric Composers.
