Place Div around multiple paragraphs without editing code

[Lisa Zinzow]

Whenever I select multiple paragraphs and apply a div tag, it applies the tag to each paragraph rather than wrapping the entire block. Then I go into the Text Editor tab and edit the tags to wrap the whole block. Is there a simpler way to do this?

Thanks!
Lisa

Simple to do (once you know how, of course!)

Select the paragraph blocks, then go to the Home ribbon and locate and click the Group button. It's in the Paragraph group, farthest button to the right. You'll get a window asking you what kind of group you want, and you can select your div style.

HTH.

Wahoo! Thanks much.

Nita, thanks for this. I'd never seen the "Group" functionality before--although really, when you select multiple blocks and want to apply a style, it's pretty obvious what's desired and MadCap's designers and programmers dropped the ball on this one. (And yet it works like you would expect when authoring a post here in this forum. Go figure.)

OR...

Highlight all the paragraphs and press the Tab key, which also brings up the same dialog box. (Caveat: that doesn't work if the paragraphs you select are immediately following a bulleted list.)
