	Just got the new PageMaker 4.2 to use with Microsoft Word 5.0 in 
	my quest to automate publications.  With PageMaker 4.0 I could 
	link graphics that were "Place"able, but I use a LOT of Word 
	Tables.  The only way to get the tables into PageMaker is to 
	convert them into PICT graphics in Word, then cut them through
	the Clipboard.  Of course, PageMaker can't link through the 
	clipboard!

	SOooooo, my publish & subscribe dream...publish the table in Word,
	then subscribe in PageMaker????  IT WON'T WORK.  PageMaker brings 
	it over in pieces as tab delimited data - no more table!

	Welllll, how about convert the table to PICT in Word, then publish
	the PICT table and subscribe in PageMaker????  Close, but no 
	ceeegar.  PageMaker brings it over as an inline graphic, which is 
	supposed happen only if you select the text cursor from the Toolbox.
	Everytime I tried to move the table into position, it would 
	spring back into place presumably because of it's inline graphic 
	status.  I figure if I could get it to be an independent graphic 
	things might go OK, but since its coming from a WORD processor, 
	PageMaker gets the message that is is text (just a guess).

	Some of you may be wondering why I don't just use the PageMaker 
	Table Editor to make the tables?  I investigated that but I need 
	to be able to use multiple fonts and it's not supported.

	Anybody have any ideas or experiences with how to LINK Word tables 
	to PageMaker????  Wisdom????
