A netname on a net or attached to a placed symbol is global when netlisted.

Some/most of the power symbols have net=Vss:1 type of name only.  If you add 
attribute netname=Vss by attribute-->attach, ( keystrokes ta), for each 
placement of power symbol in your schematic, it will make a global netlist 
connection.
