How can I permanently remove the irritating copilot icon from my word document
To disable or hide Microsoft Copilot, you can do it in several ways:
1. Disable it completely: Open Word, click File > Options > General, find the settings related to Office Intelligent Services or the Copilot feature and turn them off.
2. Hide the icon: Right-click the Copilot icon and select Hide or Minimize.
3. Remove from Ribbon: Click File > Options > Customize Ribbon, find the Copilot feature and uncheck it.
4. Check for updates: Click File > Account > Update Options > Update Now to make sure Word is up to date.
5. Feedback: Click Help > Feedback in Word to submit your questions or suggestions to Microsoft.
6. Repair or reinstall: Via Control Panel > Programs and Features, locate Microsoft Office and select Change > Repair and reinstall if necessary.
Hi there,
Thanks for your reply.
Option 1 tried and does not hide the default copilot info I get on every new document.
Option 2 - you can't right click the icon on Mac Word
Option 3 tried and does not hide the default copilot info I get on every new document.
Option 4 - updated to current version but still get the default copilot page
Option 5 - done and no effect
Option 6 - done a re-install and no change.
Here is the default screen I get on EVERY document I create. Once I start typing, it disappears though. I don't want it there in the first place because Copilot is disabled!!! It doesn't make sense.
Thanks, Maz
