Use the Contextual Menu (two ways, either in Selection Tool right click (or control click in Mac) the time sig, or in the Time Sig tool right click the first bar where you want it) and select "2/2 (beam as 4/4)" or "Cut Time (beam as 4/4)". This will not change anything already entered, but from now on it will beam 4 8ths together (assuming you have that option selected in Doc Options>Beaming.) You can Rebeam (Utilities menu) to change things that have already been entered.
