Default Help needed with keywording in Lightroom

Well Lightroom help file says it needs a sidecar .xml file to record keywords in. But I've just successfully added some to a Canon RAW file and wen I made a jpg from that file it inherited the tag as it should.
However, my problem is if I select more than one file in Lightroom, it will only tag the first one selected.
Am I making a simple error here somewhere or what cos I know for definite I ave tagged mutli files before in Lightroom.

S'ok, silly Lightroom only allows multiple tagging if in grid view, not in film strip view tut

Is that what the deal is. I am glad you posted your solution. I was extremely frustrated the other night trying to retag some stuff that got improperly imported. I got it to work it the end, but that is not what I thought was the key.

It's working fine now. I don't know why they say you need a sidecar file for proprietary raw files, as LR is tagging mine great.
I still haven't worked out how it selects/deselects though. After doing something on multiple images you'd think clikcing on one of them would deselect the group....no. As I found and had to then go back and try to deselect a tag from a file. That too is cumbersome.
Unless it's just me ....

What I know is that LR refuses to make such changes to RAW files in general but it does to DNG, JPEG ..

Nope. It's working fine now for my Canon CR2 files. I'm chuffed to bits with it.
