In a normal hand forgery, the individual does not attempt to copy the victims signature or writing.

(page 630)
1. The writer should be allowed to write sitting comfortably at a desk or table and without distraction.
2. The suspect should not under any conditions be shown the questioned document or be told how to spell certain words or what punctuation to use.
3. The suspect should be furnished a pen and paper similar to those used in the questioned document.
4. The dictated text should be the same as the contents of the questioned document, or at least should contain many of the same words, phrases, and letter combinations found in the document. In hand-printing cases, the suspect must not be told whether to use uppercase or lowercase lettering. If, after writing several pages, the writer fails to use the desired type of lettering, he or she can then be instructed to include it. Altogether, the text must be no shorter than a page.
5. Dictation of the text should take place at least three times. If the writer is trying to disguise the writing, noticeable variations should appear among the three repetitions. Discovering this, the investigator must insist on continued repetitive dictation of the text.
6. Signature exemplars can best be obtained when the suspect is required to combine other writings w/ a signature.
7. Before requested exemplars are taken from the suspect, a document examiner should be consulted and shown the questioned specimens.
