How do I turn off Copilot in Word documents?
OKay so all you need to to is go to 'Add or remove programs' on your computer and uninstall it (why did I not think of this).
For some of us, that option doesn’t exist. Like, literally doesn’t exist. It’s why I had to rollback versions to the September major update where it wasn’t embedded in the way it is now. I didn’t subscribe to Copilot/have a subscription where I ever paid for it or requested it, it was just suddenly there one day as a free trial auto-embedded in Word with no way to uninstall it. All I wanted was to be able to have it off in Word for my academic work. Are you using 365 online or the desktop version of Word please? If it is the desktop one, which version are you using please and what subscription level? I would love to be back up to date with my software, but need the option for Copilot to be completely off for academic work.
That' so annoying... it says I have version 2410 of Word although it does say there is an update available and now I don't want to do it! I'm on the Family subscription which has just gone up by $5 a month. I've switched to Family classic which doesn't seem to include AI (I replied to someone else with a screenshot) - I pay monthly so am able to switch. But if I do all this and copilot is still there, I am done with Office
