Copilot’s Automatic Summary for Word Documents

The automatic document summary feature for Word duly turned up and Copilot for Microsoft 365 has been busy generating summaries ever since. The feature works well for documents with less than 80,000 words, which should be enough for most documents but limits summarization for documents that might use it most, like complex plans or contracts. In any case, I haven’t found a way to turn document summaries off. Maybe that’s coming.

    Auto-generation of a summary that I do not want or need in the majority of my interactions with Microsoft Word seems wasteful to me.  I would much prefer to be able to click a button to generate a document summary.  There still does not seem to be a simple way to disable this functionality.
