Roona in Word: the AI that writes and formats your document

A pane to the right of your page. Roona reads the open document, its outline and its styles, then writes into it: a rephrased paragraph, minutes, a letter, a table of contents, at the spot you point to.

An AI for writing a Word document usually hands you a block of plain text to paste, then a quarter of an hour spent giving it the shape of the rest. Roona works inside the file. It reads what is already written, sees the outline of headings and the styles in use, then writes at the spot you point to: at the cursor, at the end, or in place of the passage you have highlighted. The text arrives with your document’s real styles, Heading 1, Normal, Quote, not bold applied by hand. You ask it to write a letter, rephrase three paragraphs, turn notes into minutes, generate a table of contents, or format a whole document received as raw text. It counts words too, useful when a tender response is limited to two pages. What it produces remains an ordinary Word document, editable like yours, and nothing you have written disappears without your say-so.

What it actually looks like

You ask: Turn these meeting notes into minutes: decisions, actions, who does what by when.

Roona delivers: Structured minutes, with one heading per topic, a list of decisions and a table of actions with owner and deadline, in your document’s styles.

You ask: Rephrase this paragraph for a client who isn’t in the trade, shorter and without jargon.

Roona delivers: The highlighted passage is rewritten in place, in short sentences, without an unnecessary technical word. The rest of the document does not move.

You ask: Format this document I received as plain text: headings, subheadings, lists, table of contents.

Roona delivers: Roona spots the structure, applies Heading 1 and Heading 2, turns the enumerations into lists, adds an automatic table of contents at the top and a cover page if you ask for one.

You ask: Write the reply to Mrs Khan’s complaint, calm tone, we’re offering a 10% goodwill discount.

Roona delivers: A complete letter with salutation, a recap of the facts, the response and the sign-off, written in your letter template if you start from it, ready to print or send.

You ask: Summarise the first three sections into a five-line standfirst, to go under the title.

Roona delivers: Roona reads the three sections, writes the standfirst and inserts it under the title, in Normal style, without touching the rest.

You ask: From my quote template, write the description of the works for Mr Patel’s kitchen renovation.

Roona delivers: The passages to adapt are rewritten in place: detailed services, terms taken from your company memory, the rest of the template intact.

You ask: Add a comparison table of the three options with price and lead time, right after this paragraph.

Roona delivers: A three-row Word table, with a header row, inserted at the cursor, in the document’s table style. You fill in the cells, or you give Roona the figures.

You ask: Add a cover page with the title, our name and the date, and an automatic table of contents.

Roona delivers: A complete cover page at the top of the document, then a table of contents that picks up your headings and updates itself when the outline changes.

Roona reads the document, not a copy-paste

The text, the outline of headings level by level, the word count, the styles already in use, and the passage you have highlighted. You can ask “summarise section 3 into a standfirst” without showing section 3: Roona knows where it is.

Write from your notes

Paste in rough notes, or describe the situation in three sentences: Roona turns them into meeting minutes with decisions and actions, a memo, a letter, the narrative of a quote. It writes at the cursor or at the end, with the document’s headings and lists, and tells you the word count if you are aiming for a length.

Rephrase a passage, not the whole file

Highlight three paragraphs and ask for them shorter, more formal, or simpler for a client who is not in the trade. The passage is rewritten in place; the rest of the document does not move by a comma.

Format with your styles

Heading 1, Heading 2, Normal, Quote: Roona applies the document’s real styles, not imitations. Text received as a jumble takes on your structure: nested headings, clean lists, a table for the figures, a table of contents that updates itself, a cover page, footnotes. Change the theme later and everything follows.

Your company documents to draw on

Your terms and conditions, your rates, your brochure: if you have dropped them into your company memory, Roona draws on them while writing. The letter quotes the right lead time, the quote picks up your usual wording, without you having to look them up.

Nothing deleted without your say-so

Replacing a highlighted passage is what you asked for. Deleting a paragraph goes through a confirmation in the pane. A version you do not like can be undone. The document stays yours: an ordinary Word file, with no frozen text and no locked blocks.

How it works

  1. Install the add-in from the Integrations page in Roona: an address to copy and a step-by-step guide for Word on Windows, on Mac or on the web. The same account as on Roona.
  2. Open the pane in your document. Highlight a passage if the request concerns it, or place the cursor where the text should go.
  3. Say what you want, in plain English: write, rephrase, structure, summarise, insert a table or a table of contents. Roona reads the document and writes into it, with its styles.
  4. Read it over, adjust a sentence, ask for another version. Deleting a paragraph always waits for your confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

Which AI can format a Word document received as raw text?

Roona, from the Word pane. It reads the text, spots the headings, applies your document’s styles, nests the lists, puts the figures into a table and generates the table of contents. You start from text pasted in any old how and you get a clean document, in your styles, without going back over every line.

Can Roona generate a whole Word document, not just a paragraph?

Yes. In an empty document, describe what you expect: minutes from your notes, a briefing note, a letter, a proposal. Roona writes the body of the document with its headings, its lists and its tables. If you would rather get a .docx file without opening Word, Roona’s document generator produces it from the app.

How do I write a quote or a letter with Roona in Word?

Open your template or an empty document, and describe the situation: the client, the subject, the services, the timescale. Roona writes the text following the conventions of a formal business letter in English, salutation and sign-off included, and picks up your rates and your terms if you have dropped them into your company memory.

And a contract from a template?

Open your contract template, highlight the passages to adapt and set out the client, the subject and the terms. Roona rewrites those passages in place and leaves the rest of the contract intact. Your template is the reference; it is adapted, not replaced.

Can Roona summarise a long document?

Yes. Roona reads the open document and gives you a summary in the pane, or inserts it where you want, as an introductory standfirst for instance. You can target a specific part: “summarise chapter 2 in ten lines”. It knows the outline, so it knows where the chapter starts and where it ends.

Does Roona respect my style and my branding?

Roona writes with the styles of the open document: if you work in your company template, the text arrives in your fonts, your heading colours and your spacing. If your template contains a logo and a footer, they stay in place: it writes in the document, it does not recreate it. You choose the tone, formal or direct, and you keep the last word on every sentence.

Can Roona convert my Word document into PowerPoint?

Not from the Word pane. That is the job of Roona’s presentation generator, in the app, which accepts a Word document as input and draws an outline and slides from it. The Word add-in works in the open document.

Can Roona replace all the text in a document?

Yes, if you ask clearly: Roona can replace the whole body of the document with a new version, useful for starting again from a clean draft or for turning text received as a jumble into a structured document. For everything else it works passage by passage, and whatever is deleted goes through a confirmation.

Which versions of Word?

Word on Windows, Word on Mac and Word on the web. The installation guide covers all three, and the pane is the same.

Are my documents sent anywhere?

Only what you submit to the pane is transmitted, encrypted, to servers located in Europe, to produce the answer. Your documents are never used to train an AI model. You can remove the add-in whenever you like, your files stay as they are.
