Click on a title to highlight it.  To highlight several items, see Selecting Multiple List Items. To highlight all titles in the column, click on the column and then select the Select All command from the Edit menu.

 

Select the Change Keywords for Article command from the Keyword menu.

OR Select the Change Keywords for Highlighted Articles command from right-click pop-up menu from the Titles column or from the Preview Pane when it is showing keywords.

 

The Shared Keywords for Highlighted Articles dialog box is displayed. Keywords which are shared by all highlighted articles are shown in the Assigned Keywords list box.

 

In the Assigned Keywords list, double-click on the keyword you want to delete.

 

The keyword is moved to the Available Keywords list box.

 

Remove any number of keywords from the list in the same way.
