Sorry, I omitted a vital step! Originally I was thinking you were doing this as a project mode perspective, where simply selecting the projects you wanted would have been sufficient, but because you are switching to context mode, you need to focus on those projects first. So, after selecting your desired projects, use View->Focus on <selected projects> and then switch to context mode and continue with the instructions.

Focusing on a set of projects/folders allows you to go to context mode and only see the subset on which you had focused, rather than the whole database. It's a great feature if you like splitting up your projects into roles or other groupings.
