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.

Looks like they've taken this option away.
I'm fine with having copilot on, just don't want the stupid emoji blocking the text I'm working on!

Unfortunately, this does NOT work for Chromebooks, or all versions of word. However, thank you for sharing a help for some people

I'm on version 2408, so that option doesn't appear for me, I really want to update Word and check, but I also don't want to deal with the possibility of it not working and have to go through the process of manually downgrading again.
I will eventually give it a try, I just don't want to think about it right now, I'm really disappointed that wasn't an option from the start.
My trust in Microsoft and the Office platform has eroded immensely over the last few months, it's probably best I leave it at that.
Thanks for finding this though, I'll mark this as the solution.
