|I guess you have been trying to switch between SuperPaint and Word 4
|by just typing in cmd-, (command key + comma).  In order for this to work, 
|you've got to have pasted a SuperPaint graphic into Word4 with "Paste 
|Link..." command.

There's more.  I tried it with Excel 1.5 and it worked; I tried it
with SuperPaint 1.1MS (that's what the one that comes with Word calls
itself) and it failed.

So I read the (SP) manual.  It turns out you can't just draw a picture
and link it; you have to have saved the drawing to a named file.  If
you try to Cut or Copy from a named file in SuperPaint and Paste Link
it into Word, all the Quickswitch stuff works.

In fact, when I quit from SuperPaint and later did a QuickSwitch from
Word, it started up SuperPaint for me.
