I don't really know whether  this thing is authentic or not and I really don't care one way or another, but an obvious question I've been wondering is this: if people have access to a typewriter from that time period and if this paper really was a forgery intended to look genuine such that nobody would know that it was a forgery, why would they have not simply used a typewriter to write the thing to begin with?  It seems weird to me that they'd use MS Word in their attempts to forge it when that program obviously works differently than a typewriter.

At this point I am certain the documents are forgeries.

Nobody has yet responded to my question as to why, since these do appear to be forgeries, they were done in such an obvious manner.  Why didn't they just get a typewriter from the '70s, since they appear to be available, and type it out on there?  It seems to me that it would have been practically more work to make these in MS Word than it would have been to make them on a typewriter.
