Hide copilot icon in Word 365

I would like to hide/disable the copilot icon that automatically appears on Word 365 pages as I write. I *do not* want to disable copilot. Just the icon - it is intrusive and irritating. 

 

To be clear: I have the copilot button on my ribbon - that is *not* the issue. The issue is the icon on the page I am working on. 

 

this should be easy but I have spent an hour to no avail...

    I would also like a way to disable it. It appears with every paragraph break.

    Unlike the original poster, though, I have disabled Copilot through all of the settings, per the guidelines here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-to-turn-off-copilot-in-microsoft-365-family-and-personal-subscriptions-bc7e530b-152d-4123-8e78-edc06f8b85f1

    I've disabled it/removed it from the Ribbon via the Customize Ribbon options.

    But every single line break, this little icon keeps showing up, even after relaunching Word and restarting my computer.

    I don't want to see a little prompt for every single line break!

    The current workaround is to change to the Draft view.
