Sir, I am using V5.1 and I have wondered a long time how one
can group or ungroup cells. 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.
