Word to Rise - Textblocks
I was wondering whether anyone knows if it is possible to import text from a word document to Rise Text blocks (not into accordeon, process etc. blocks).
We have some live trainings coming up, and we would love to put the reworked transcript in a well structured format so re-visitors can also learn by reading and not only listening.
I tried creating a course using Rise's AI features, but this completely re-writes the text, in the worst case even shortens the content. I tried various prompts, but the outcome is always the same text.
Any thoughts/help?
Hi IrisSchlabitz!
Sorry to hear you're having trouble moving content from Word into Rise 360!
Currently, Rise does not support the direct importing of Word documents to Text Blocks. However, Rise makes it easy to copy and paste content from other sources. I suggest opening your transcript in Word and removing any extra formatting. Then copy the text from Word, and paste it into a Rise Text Block using Paste as plain text (Ctrl+Shift+V). This helps keep everything clean and consistent!
Also, what you've described is the expected behavior for the AI Assistant in Rise. It is not designed for direct text imports. It's more meant to rewrite and restructure content into interactive learning formats such as Accordion, Process, or Tab Blocks.
Let me know how it goes!

Hi StevenBenassi, I was not aware about the short Ctrl Shift V, I always used the simple Ctrl V. Your suggestion works well without copying the format from the word, which was really annoying.
StevenBenassi It would be incredibly helpful to have a structured framing syntax or template format that instructs Rise to import content exactly as written and map it directly into specific block types. Currently, this kind of API-driven or template-based import pipeline doesn’t exist as a user-facing feature, and introducing it could significantly streamline content development workflows.
Hi TOA_Global,
Thanks for sharing this suggestion!
I understand the need for a more structured way to bring content into Rise, especially when you want to preserve the original text and map it directly to specific block types.
I’ve shared this with our product team so they’re aware of this workflow need.
I completely agree with this comment.
I have created Agents that consistently produce a Rise micro-learning script in the required layout, block by block, using a course's details, outline plan, and lesson rough script.
Currently, I have to copy and paste or use the Magic Import to get the content into Rise.
Surely you should be looking to enable some form of automation!
