This is an addition to my previous post.

As already pointed out by Paul Abbot, my difficulties with P.J.
Hinton's formulation were that I had inadvertantly turned Cell Grouping
to Manual.  With Cell Grouping | Automatic, his method works.  In my
testing, I have found that the method I described works with either the
Automatic or Manual setting while his only works with the Automatic
setting.
