I want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.

Found it, and unchecking the box worked. From inside of Word, File-->Options-->Copilot.
I am with you there, I detest and loathe this nagging encouraging of using Co-pilot when I am pefectly happy with Word as it stands and I a perfectly capable of makin my own decision son how to paste something FFS! What kind of moron does Microsoft take me fo?

sb_geo_advisoryMicrosoft, like all other corporates cater to the lowest common denominator, so they think everyone is moronic. To add to this, if you go to the FILE menu, OPTIONS, COPILOT and the DISABLE COPILOT it should go away.

Thank you. Sadly, this does not work for me. After almost an hour on the phone with microsoft, I am told that they are working on a fix for Chromebooks. I think I have the final solution. I am going back to Wordperfect.

Great Dusty_1. that works fine for me, thank you! Now I realise this should be a different thread, but PowerPoint and Excel don't yet have the option to DISABLE COPILOT, only the privacy option disconnetcing from Optional Connected experiences, which results in being told to re-start Office to update privacy settings when I have just started Office / PowerPoint - grrrrrrr! Oh well, its better than nothing!
