How do I turn off Copilot in Word documents?

I don't need Copilot in my word documents and I don't need the copilot icon stalking me on every page when I begin to type. Its very distracting. How do I disable Copilot?

If it hasn't been mentioned in the thread already, and I am not sure what Microsoft's reasoning is behind all of this,

but if you go to the manage subscription option on your account, and then go to cancel your subscription, on the landing page there will be an option for Microsoft Office 365 Family Classic, with a button that allows you to switch to that tier, not only does this get rid of the AI but it keeps the price the same for next year.

It's just really inane that it's only available on that page.

I was shown this from a Reddit thread that I will link to in reply because I'm not sure if it'll get flagged doing it in this response.

Thank you. The subscription thing worked. I was about to have a raging kaniption, but I am not freed from Ai oppression. Much love.
