Hello, I’m new here. I have a problem if I try to highlight a phrase, I can do it within 1 line of text, but if there is a phrase and one word is on one line and it continues on the second line, I simply can’t highlight it. Is there a keyboard shortcut or some other way than trying to drag with a mouse?

Hi Kalrog,
You can select a first word in the phrase, then hold the shift and click on the last word in a phrase to select the entire phrase. Note that you can highlight maximum 9 words at once.

Hello, thank you for the answer. It works for me to drag and highlight only some texts on 2 lines and many texts not - it seems it depends only on formatting of the text (like if the text would be just 1 paragraph or sentences one by one with no formatting, that would probably work, but if it’s imported book and lines are not so connected it is a problem). I have tested what you have suggested and it works only in the cases where also the highlighting with a mouse works. So unfortunately this doesn’t solve it for me. I think it is simply a bug to be fixed. 
Ah, that’s also correct, you can’t highlight phrases accross two paragraphs. Unfortunately we are unable to check and control every user’s imports. You can send us a lesson link and we will do our best to fix the formatting.

Can’t you edit your already existing lesson? Why do you want to import again?

Unfortunately on the Android app you can’t highlight a phrase unless someone else has. Is this going to change and if so when?
You can actually highlight a phrase on the Android app too. To do that, just press and hold on a word and option to highlight a phrase will appear.
Either nothing happens (just a short vibration), or the standard Android options (like search, select all, copy, send) appear.
