How do I turn off Copilot in Word documents?
- Open MS Word
- Navigate to the File tab
- Scroll all the way to the bottom, and select Options
- Select the Copilot
- Deselect the Enable Copilot selection box
- Select OK
- Close MS Word
- Restart your computer
- Open MS Word, and it should be gone
I don't know if people are still struggling with the Copilot icon but this is what worked for me. Open up Microsoft Word and navigate to Options; there should be a tab for Copilot. Click the copilot tab and you should see a box that says enable copilot. Uncheck that tab and the little annoying Copilot icon should be gone forever from your Word documents. Cheers.

Are you on PC? Are you on Microsoft 365 Personal plan? What build number are you using please? Are you referring to options visible in desktop Word or visible in web Word, or both please? Whatever version you have is what I want. I’ve currently reverted to the 365 Personal September 24 build on desktop which does not have Copilot, and what I really want is what I can see on yours - the option to toggle Copilot off and on. Thanks!
