Changing the Editing State of Several Paragraphs at Once
There are several ways of changing the editing state of several paragraphs simultaneously.

- Go to the Context View/Source View and select the paragraphs whose editing state you would like to change. In order to do this, click each of the desired paragraphs one after the other while pressing the Ctrl key.
To change the editing state of several successive paragraphs, you can also use the Shift key. To do this, select the first paragraph, keep the Shift key pressed and then click the last paragraph for which you wish to change the editing state.
