I have M365 Business Standard and M365 Copilot. It is working fine for me.SharmaNeeraj Yeah, that's not correct. Aside from the link you included, we have E3 licenses with Copilot 365 and the "Reference a File" option in the desktop app for Word is not available. It's only available in the online app version. So, you're answer is incorrect.
Hi
I am using M365 Business Standard with Copilot and it is available on Desktop Word App as well .
Please refer screen shot.On your side it may be temporary issue .
- Dear Thirumalai94,
That's exactly what happened to me here in Brazil. I signed up on the 19th, and so far this morning, no button has appeared in my MS Word, PowerPoint, etc.
I had purposely canceled Windows 10 updates using the stopupdates program. I released the updates, did everything possible, and nothing.
This morning, I logged into MS Word and went to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now (check for and install updates).
I said "Update now", and there was an update available. The service updated, restarted the MS Word app, and when it came back,
the "Copilot" button appeared in the "Home" tab to the right of the Microsoft Editor button.
Hope it works, Thirumalai94.
Attention: I wrote in English, but translated directly from the terms and words in the MS Word app in Portuguese. Perhaps the original English names are not exactly the same as those I typed here. I suggest attention. - I am having the same issue. Just spent two hours on chat with Microsoft with no help. I updated Word, repaired Office twice, updated the license, restarted several times, nothing is working.
