A previous summary of mine lamented the fact that Word was
incompatible with SuperPaint 2.0.  This is not entirely
correct.  Many thanks to long@mcntsh.enet.dec.com for
showing me the error of my ways.

Do this:

o  Crank up SuperPaint and create a graphic. SAVE IT. This
is important.

o  Select whatever is wanted of the graphic. Copy to the
clipboard.

o  Switch to Word. Paste Link--NOT just Paste. Paste Link
is on the Edit menu.

I can now select the graphic and do Update Link or Edit
Link.

What actually goes on here is a hidden paragraph is inserted
just before the graphic. This paragraph gives Word the infor-
mation it needs to find the graphic later. You can see this
by turning on Show Hidden Text from the Preferences dialog.
