Thanks to everyone who responded to my query.  Although one
person had claimed to be able to do this, most lamented the
fact that MicroSoft and Silicon Beach (subsumed by Aldus?)
no longer have such a working relationship.  Only SuperPaint
ver. 1.1MS works with the QuickSwitch feature, and even that
is no longer bundled with Word 4.0.  So much for hot linking
graphics to my Word documents.  :-(  Of course, one could
export a 1.1 document from SuperPaint 2.0, but it just doesn't
seem worth it...
