Hey, i opened it in my android phone and it was just fine.

Steps to select multiple words :

Select one word.
Drag/Select as many words you want.
Now remove the selection and it will mark/highlight the word.

Hi, thanks for the instruction, but I know how to select multiple words; unfortunately, continuing to drag does not have the desired effect of enlarging the selection.
