Web Design template21 - links don't work on specific area

I downloaded template 21 (https://freewebsitetemplates.com/preview/template21/) and edited it in a way that there is only one main area - the area where the text:
"Content
Please replace this text with the original one. Please replace this font with the customised one. please replase this font. This is demo text please replase this with your text." catch all the content main area.
When I add links to this area - they don't work, I also can't select and copy the text.
Why the links don't work on this area, and how to make them work?

Thanks
