Could be. I suggest that you enter an Request for Enhancement (RFE) into
Issue Tracker as this is the best way to have requests such as this
evaluated.

My Pages tab and selecting the Register link

3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "Bugs & Issues" link in the General links box.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
