Were you using the Word equation editor or inserting the superscripts as symbols? I was able to successfully copy/paste if I used the insert symbol method - but another ELH community member shared the Word equation editor didn't work for him.
A colleague was able to find some unicode characters for the multiplication symbol and the superscript 6 that worked (just a bit of web research to track these down) as that's what the other gentleman needed in his equation - so perhaps the unicode characters would work for you?
I'll also share this behavior with our team as a possible software bug. Sometimes my team catches errors in my logic and we don’t have a bug after all. Of course, if that’s the case, I’ll let you know! Thanks so much again for letting us know about this, and I’m sorry if it’s slowing you down.
Thanks for suggesting the work-around. I used Word's Insert > Symbol feature and then copied/pasted it into Rise. Superscript commas, however, don't work. However, I think I can use a regular apostrophe to fake it.
Glad that'll work for you in the meantime Ryan - not sure I'd know a superscript comma vs. an apostrophe if it hit me in the face...but then again math was not my strong suit. ;)
Hello Ryan, i'm trying to do the same thing in my course.
What is the difference between what you did orginally that didn't work (copy/paste from a word doc) vs Word's Insert > Symbol feature and then copied/pasted?
I tried the same thing, but it still didn't work. I guess I don't know how to do the latter option :)
References are also massively important for the content I want to create. I had a quick look at the Word Insert > Symbol workaround, but as far as I can see that only works for special characters, not superscript (or subscript) <sup>1</sup>.
When copying text in from Word or PPT that includes superscript "TM" (for trademark), the TM is in different a font (it is coming in as a serif font) than what I've chosen for my project. See my attachment. I've also tried adding the TM using ALT-0153 and it is the same -- not the font I want. Any ideas since my client will want the TMs, but not to look like this? Thanks!
We are still working on a feature to utilize superscript with Rise.
The font in your image is one that comes from Word when using the Insert Symbol method, correct? If you superscript the TM as needed via the superscript button on the Home ribbon, does that work as you wish? I know it holds the font being used while in Word.
This thread is already attached for our team so that we can track user impact.
In case this is being tracked: The TM would be an issue for me. I was hoping to use this on a very large project that would require the TM symbol everywhere on product names.
Hello. We also urgently need the superscript feature within Rise. The workaround with inserting symbols in Word using Unicode and then copying and pasting is, as can be imagined, highly impractical for chemistry materials. Any update on when this feature will be developed would be highly appreciated.
Leslie -- since there are so many others with this issue these past weeks, I thought I'd try it again and found that this does not work, no matter how I copy it in from Word or PPT, or do ALT-0153 within RISE. I should say the "TM" is there, but doesn't look good -- doesn't keep the font that I've chosen. Thanks for anything you can do to help us out!
It has been submitted as a feature request to our team for superscript, but I don't have any update if it's made the roadmap yet. We'll keep you posted here.
Hi Ann,
Just to confirm it looks like you're using the "TM" as a part of a overall course lesson and then a Block lesson title? What did you choose as your heading and body fonts?
(Also, for using that symbol I copied/pasted it out of a Google Doc I had typed the text into - I know that the copy/paste behavior isn't consistent for everyone but in case you were curious how I inserted them to begin with!)
Hi everybody - a colleague just showed me how he uses a 3rd party website to generate the superscripts, trademarks, etc. for Rise. You just copy/paste it into Rise. This does not resolve the font issue, though.
The font is the issue for me. I can get it superscript...but the fact that it's a different font is what I'm trying to resolve. Thanks for the info Ryan and Ashley!
Hello. I am brand new to Articulate (been using Captivate for many years) and I love Rise, just the superscript issue is an issue as we have stringent brand rules, so I'll be watching for updates on that. Also fonts - is there any way to add fonts to the list that is currently available in Rise? Our organisation uses Omnes or an Omnes, Calibri, Arial font stack.
You're in the right place to stay updated on that feature!
Since you asked about fonts, you presently can choose from these eight fonts in Rise: Lato, Raleway, Roboto, Open Sans, Merriweather, Lora, Roboto Slab, and Maitree.
I wanted to give you a heads up that we just released another update for Articulate 360, and included a few important fixes and new features that you'll see in the release notes here.
One of the new Rise features is increased text formatting options, including subscript and superscript. I hope that helps with your writing equations in Rise! Here’s a quick tutorial on editing text in Rise.
This seems to work in the body text but not in the title--at least I cannot get it to. I have the most current update. I was able to copy and paste but it doesn't hold the font as others have said. Any plans to allow the course title text to be editable? My course titles frequently involve the name of the product and we have strict brand guidelines.
I've used Alt Codes in the past to insert superscript into Rise; however, the font being used for that symbol might appear different depending on the browser being used. For instance, we use Lato font for our heading and I used an Alt Code to insert a trademark symbol (Alt+0153). In Chrome the trademark looked like a serif font (having the small line at the end of a letter stroke like the Rolex logo) while Lato is a sans serif (doesn't have the line at the end of a letter stroke). In IE, the fonts looked to be both Lato for the letters and the trademark symbol.

Hi Tony,
I don't think your superscript carried through to ELH either - so maybe a screenshot would help folks offer advice on what you're looking for?

Leslie are y'all working on subscript as well? Or just superscript?

Hi Ann,
Just to confirm it looks like you're using the "TM" as a part of a overall course lesson and then a Block lesson title? What did you choose as your heading and body fonts?
Lato for both Headings and Body font. No matter what font I choose, it looks different than the text next to it.
Thanks for pushing this in the feature request!
Thanks Ann - I see the varying text font as well. In my example it seems only the superscript TM symbol shows the different text.
I took a quick Peek of that behavior, and I'll include that in the Feature request that is with our team.
(Also, for using that symbol I copied/pasted it out of a Google Doc I had typed the text into - I know that the copy/paste behavior isn't consistent for everyone but in case you were curious how I inserted them to begin with!)

Hi Shannon,
I was able to copy and paste in from a Google doc. What were you trying to copy in? I inserted a Trademark symbol while authoring in Google Chrome.
I've used Alt Codes in the past to insert superscript into Rise; however, the font being used for that symbol might appear different depending on the browser being used. For instance, we use Lato font for our heading and I used an Alt Code to insert a trademark symbol (Alt+0153).
