Copilot in Word can't read chat attachments; Word for web file picker shows “no token obtained”
Any news?
Nothing from Microsoft. I tried the solution from DadBeatDead with the "/", and it worked with one file. So maybe there is hope.
The whole thing is an annoyance, though probably not a deal-breaker, at least not yet. In my work as a patent lawyer, I frequently have to deal with multiple files that need to be uploaded, for the AI to get all the data - e.g., prior art publications, USPTO office actions, specification and figures, fillable forms, that sort of thing. Can I have M365 Copilot do the work, and then copy-paste it into a Word file, and then work with Word Copilot going forward? Sure. But it is an annoyance.
Maybe when I become more proficient with AI, and I am ready to try things I haven't done yet, like Claude or OpenClaw or whatever, I'll end up switching to a different AI platform.
