CoPilot has suddenly stopped working in Word?
CoPilot suddenly stopped working in Word this morning. After any prompt I enter I get an "Oops, something happened. Can you try again" error message. The error occurs in both the desktop app and web versions of Word (CoPilot is still working fine in Excel, Outlook etc). The issue is not limited to one device or version of Windows - I have Windows 10 on a PC and Windows 11 on a laptop. I have engaged with Microsoft Help Support via chat and after multiple efforts to try and resolve the issue, the suggestion from the agent is that it may be related to a server-side service disruption or a backend issue rather than Word itself. Very frustrating! Is anybody else experiencing the same issue and have you been able to resolve it?
Drag-select not working in Word
MS Word seriously broke on me today. very little seems to be working properly. I tried everything Claude suggested, and what I could find on these forums. I cannot drag-select anything. Navigation pane doesn't work right: doesn't get headings. I don't have time for basic functionality to break. Whatever update you sent out that broke this, please fix it ASAP.
"Repeat header row" is set, but not repeating
I'm creating Microsoft Word templates for accessibility. I have tables that are set to repeat the header row on each page, with breaking across rows disabled. The setting is complete, but the header row on page 2 (and beyond) are not displaying. These were new templates created from scratch this year from a new document. They are not copied and pasted from older documents. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Changing the font for envelope printing
I'm using Office Professional Plus 2019. Word prints envelopes in a tiny light font that's almost impossible to read. There's an "Options" button on the dialog box for printing an envelope. When I clicked it, Word opened a dialog that had "Font..." buttons for the delivery address and return address. I clicked the "Delivery" button, and Word opened a "Font" dialog. I changed the font, then clicked the "Set as Default" button and "OK." Then I did the same for the return address. Then I printed an envelope, and Word used the same tiny light font as before. When I opened the "Font" dialogs again, they showed the original settings. What am I doing wrong... or what is Word doing wrong, and how can I fix it? The procedure seems pretty simply an not prone to misunderstanding, but it isn't dong what I think it should.
Отчёт о проблеме с многоязычной поддержкой в Microsoft Word
Описание проблемы В операционной системе Windows, установленной на английский язык (США), Microsoft Word не корректно переключает проверку орфографии и выравнивание текста при работе с многоязычными документами, особенно с языками, использующими кириллицу (русский) и иврит (RTL). Несмотря на многократные попытки изменить настройки языка проверки правописания в Word, система продолжает использовать американский английский для проверки орфографии и не поддерживает корректное выравнивание и проверку для других языков. Это делает практически невозможным корректную работу с многоязычными документами, что является серьёзным препятствием для пользователей, работающих с несколькими языками в одной системе. Технические детали ОС Windows настроена на английский язык (США). Microsoft Word продолжает использовать проверку орфографии US English, игнорируя настройки смены языка. Попытки сменить язык проверки орфографии через интерфейс Word и системные настройки не приводят к результату. Отсутствует поддержка корректного выравнивания текста для языков RTL (например, иврит). Проблема наблюдается при работе с русским и ивритом, а также другими языками, отличными от английского. Влияние на пользователей Невозможность корректно проверять орфографию на нужном языке. Некорректное выравнивание текста, что ухудшает читаемость и оформление документов. Серьёзные ограничения для пользователей, работающих с многоязычными документами. Рекомендации Обеспечить корректное переключение языка проверки орфографии в зависимости от языка текста. Поддержать автоматическое выравнивание текста в соответствии с направлением языка (LTR/RTL). Улучшить интеграцию языковых настроек Windows и Microsoft Word для многоязычных сценариев. Данный отчёт предназначен для передачи команде разработчиков Microsoft, отвечающей за локализацию и поддержку многоязычности в Office и Windows.Word Copilot attachments fail with NoTokenObtained
Word Copilot cannot read local or cloud attachments with my Microsoft account. Cloud file attachment opens OneDrive Picker but fails with NoTokenObtained, timeout, or “Sorry, something went wrong.” Local files are accepted but reported as empty/corrupted. The same files work correctly in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat with the same account. The issue reproduces on different computers, different networks, new Edge profile, new Windows user, and Word for the web without Office desktop installed. Word Copilot can read the active document, so only the attachment pipeline appears broken. Correlation IDs: 49a92ea2-7068-2001-bf16-3cf7d0c388fd and b39b30a2-b012-f000-cf51-72bd844c5dea.
