If I understand it correctly, object-linking requires some support from the
applications themselves. Since there are no plans for new versions of
Improv and WP, then it won't work. Also they will also almost certainly need
to support the feature as an extension to their document format - RTF has
been extended to support links. Now if you'd suggested an image of a
Table in, say, Mesa linked into a PasteUp document then it would probably be
a different kettle of fish. :-)

You can cut and paste the table postscript from Improv to WP, but that will
still only give you fairly simple tables which is not what Jeff was after.
