It would be handy at times to be able to collapse a group of cells. But how does one define a group of cells so they can be collapsed or uncollapsed? I've tried highlighting a bunch of cells and then used every cell/group menu item I can find but nothing ever happens. By the way my Windows system menu says Ctrl+' is the keyboard shortcut - nothing about Alt+Shift. I've looked all through the help system and have found nothing about this subject. Could you give me a few key words so I can search further on this? Thanks.
