True, which is what I ended up doing... but this won't end up tracking changes 
in the text if I make any.  I think more to the point... is this "normal" for 
DTP apps (sorry, I'm a bit new to this sort of stuff), am I missing some 
obvious setting, or is this really a problem that should be logged as a bug and 
fixed?
