EQ6 had this limitation, but I don't think EQ5 did. However I would not get EQ5. There was a huge leap in the user interface between 5 and 6. You'll find 5 less easy to use, and it won't have the capabilities of 6 or 7. Yes, it is cheaper, but you may find that you use it less. There are a lot of people who do use 5 and are quite happy with it, but I suspect they have not had the chance to compare it with later versions. That's just my 2 cents, not meant to be discouraging.
