George, you should use the Labels -> Export for LoTW function to do 
this.  This will set the Upload and Upload Date flags in the logbook for 
these QSOs.

Again, this is not the correct way.  Download the lotwreport.adi file from 
ARRL.  Import it into your DX4WIN log as an ADIF file.  Before starting the 
import, there is a dialogue box "Options for Duplicate QSOs".  Choose 
"Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed Flag".  This will set the LoTW 
Confirmed flags in your logbook only, without changing any other data.
