And if you subscribe the the Microsoft Word theory, then why don't all of the characters have the same baseline? None of the elaborate theories about how the documents were generated with Word have explained that.

It isn't "theory" at this point. It has been proven, not beyond the shadow of a doubt, but absolutely and indisputably. An expert (Ph.D., specialist in typography) was interviewed at least twice yesterday who had used a technique that simply cannot be disputed. He printed the document in MS Word with its DEFAULT settings onto a transparency, and laid it over the original. The match was perfect, and if you know anything about Word you could do the same. I commonly use this technique in confirming the registration of laser printers and it works. Period.

It is not even vaguely conceivable these documents were produced on anything other than Word.

I don't know what "baseline" issues you're referring to; the copies I've seen had nothing out of the ordinary.

I can't believe people are still debating this. I'm not sure what kind of cognitive problem would cause someone to still be arguing these documents might be real.
