ConceptHDL inter-page connection

I really hate Concept HDL, but I have to use it because of company process. From schematic design view, ORCAD is a perfect tool, although some functions needs to be improved. From library/symbol management, design file management, signal connecting, component annotation, etc, Concept HDL is a very very ugly tool to do schematic design. ORCAD almost meet all hardware engineer requirement with very simple and clear operations.
 
I can bear working efficiency decrease of using Concept HDL. But if it prone to make schematic design mistake, it is intolerable. One question is about inter-page connection. One large schematic design is usually divided into several sections, and each engineer will be responsible for his own section and draw several pages, but Concept HDL will connect all signals in different pages, even there is no off-page connection, such rules strictly require each signal name should be different if it isn’t connect to other section in charge by other engineer. I think no engineer can guarantee his signal names are all different than others. Although we asked engineers add offpage to each signal which need to connect to other page, actually, offpage don’t do any really connection, it’s only a symbol. It may be impossible to add offpage connection feature (same as ORCAD) to Concept HDL (Can Concept HDL add such option in next release?). Based on current Concept HDL, at least I hope it can give a report about inter-page connections which have no offpage attached to them, surely, these connections are not engineers want, so we can check one by one according this report. Unfortunately, we can not find such function in Concept HDL. Does it have such function?

    What I want to get is inter-page connections report which have no offpage symbol placed. so we can check item by item to aviod connection error.
