Come off it, Dan, anyone who used a typewriter knew the trick of lifting the

And makes the letters tiny?

The forgeries were almost certainly created by Microsoft Word, and
were certainly created by a computer. The forger was so amateurish
that he didn't know how to turn off the auto-correct feature!

And, does anyone remember how you centered a heading with a
typewriter?

You counted the letters in the line to be typed, then centered the
roller and backspaced half the number of letters before starting to
type.

Can you imagine a commander typing himself an MFR going through that
sort of centered heading drill?
