With Object-Linking coming up in 3.0, does anyone know  
whether it'll be possible to link an image of a Table in,  
say, Improv, to, say, a WP document?  This strikes me as a  
much better solution than to have each WP package try to do  
tables, since most tables are originally created in  
spreadsheets anyway.
