Limitations for Copilot for Word under 20 page limit is ludicrous
I cannot use Copilot for Word on most of our documents as they are longer than 20 pages. The "workaround" to split the document into different files is also impossible as that makes comparing document to document impossible as not each file extracted (say page 1-20) will never match the document I want to compare it to. Not every document is perfected formatting with sections and headers so that makes it impossible to use as well if you didn't create them.
If Copilot can only handle 20 pages at a time then why does it not "batch" its logic into 20 pages at a tine so the customer is not the one stuck with extracting every document to meet its limitations?
With the license being so expensive, it should work with any word document we use with our Business Premium license.
As a side note, I asked Copilot the same question on the same word document 5 times and received 5 different answers: 2 were hold on while I do it and never did, the 3rd was you have to do it manually, 4th was I can't do it and another was I need to use a macro.

- Now with Copilot in Word, can summarize documents that contain up to 80,000 words (depending on language), about four times more words than Copilot was previously able to summarize.

Regarding your answers you retreived from Copilot: If you are on the limit of the system, answers may not work as expected.
In addition to this you will be able to select parts of the document and only work with that - also on the roadmap.
PeterForster Unfortunately I'm using Copilot to compare 2 different contracts so it also won't work with different parts of each.
