I want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.
I have seen a few articles on this website, and I know it's not possible but I'm going to ask anyway. For reference this is what I'm referring to: It's more I find the little thing following me...

Found it, and unchecking the box worked. From inside of Word, File-->Options-->Copilot.

To turn off or hide the Copilot icon in MS Word, follow these steps:
- Open MS Word and go to any document.
- Click on the Copilot icon (the small light bulb) that appears on your document.
- A pane will appear on the right side. At the bottom of the pane, you'll see a checkbox labeled "Show Copilot in document".
- Uncheck the box to hide the icon.
If you don't see the option to hide the Copilot icon, you might need to adjust your settings:
- Go to File > Options > Proofing.
- Under AutoCorrect Options, click on AutoCorrect Settings.
- In the new window, navigate to the Typing tab and look for any settings related to Copilot or suggestions.
If these steps don't work, you might need to revert to an earlier version of Office where Copilot isn't integrated. You can find instructions on how to do this here.

Thank you. Did not work for me, but glad some people get a fix.
