I converted plain text to a PDF file with size and margins of my preference etc. (with Scribus) and started reading it on my PRS-600. When I tap on a word to check it in the dictionary, the whole line gets highlighted instead, and the reader tries to look the whole phrase up in the dictionary, which of course it can't find. However, if I have a single word at the end of a line that comes after a dot or a comma, and tap it, only in this case does the reader highlight the one word, and it now finds it in the dictionary as well.

I suspect I should do something with the PDF, but I don't know what it could be. Could anyone help..? Thanks!
