I have a similar problem. When viewing a Rise course in a Chrome browser, links to our business documents open when the file is a .pdf but do not open (or give the option to download) when the file is a .docx.  Pasting the .docx link into the browser address bar works as expected but the link does not work when added to a Rise course.

When running the course in an Edge browser the links work as expected.

My work around is to host copies of the .docx files as .pdfs but this not ideal.

    Hi Michael! Are you looking into giving your learners an option to download the word file? If you are, have you tried using the Attachment block?
