Put a space after the 1 and before the "s" just as was done in MOST instances in the real memo. MOST!! Don't you read your own stuff as you type. You are conjecturing that the author knew that the font would turn out bad and so tried to fake it. Explain this, If a forger knew that he'd have to trick the superscript then why wouldn't he just change the font to something else, like courier? Besides, there is no space on that first line. TP

Trust your eyes. But use your mind. There are those who are and this is what they are saying: *********************************************************** Further scrutiny lessens doubts on Bush memos Some skeptics now say IBM typewriter could have been used Francie Latour, Michael Rezendes, Boston Globe Saturday, September 11, 2004 After CBS News trumpeted newly discovered documents Wednesday that referred to a 1973 effort to "sugar coat" President Bush's service record in the Texas Air National Guard, the network almost immediately faced charges that the memos were forgeries with typography that was not available on typewriters used at that time. But specialists interviewed by the Globe and some other news organizations say the specialized characters used in the documents, and the type format, were common to electric typewriters in wide use in the early 1970s, when Bush was a first lieutenant. Philip Bouffard, a forensic document examiner in Ohio who has analyzed typewritten samples for 30 years, had expressed suspicions about the documents in an interview with the New York Times, one in a wave of similar media reports. But Bouffard told the Globe Friday that after further study, he now believed the documents could have been prepared on an IBM Selectric Composer typewriter available at the time. sfgate.com
