Yes some of it, did not look the same. I also typede it in using OpenOffice, and that looked closer to it than MSWord, but still not quite there.

Where did you obtain your level of expertise as far as recognizing MSWord documents? The glare is not coming through to me.

Have you noticed that that is not the default MSWord font? Have you realised that Times New Roman (MS Word default font) and variants, have been in use for many many years in print, and on type-writers? Its not unique to MSWord, not even almost, and it did not originate from MSWord either.

I have books that were printed in the 70s/80s that are set in this font.

In fact I even remember old 16bit versions of MSWorks to have had this font as well, long before Word ever existed. But I guess this all must have occured through the same worm-hole you were talking about. Talked to NASA yet? I am sure their Breakthrough Propulsion Phycisists would be greatly interested.

You mean like you do? I have seen you double post on more than one occasion, Mr. "I never double post".

In fact you created a new thread not so long ago in which you double posted immediately after the thread's initial post.

But I am sure that you had a very very VERY good reason for doing so.
