How do I turn off Copilot in Word documents?
I don't need Copilot in my word documents and I don't need the copilot icon stalking me on every page when I begin to type. Its very distracting. How do I disable Copilot?

Follow up. I stand by my earlier comment. However, this is good news, even if I cant find a way to turn copilot off. I found it by accident. Just started typing, and the copilot box disappeared. Yay.

I've just come off a frustrating hour on the chat with Microsoft Support and they had no answer to this issue. It appeared for me in build 2410 of Office 365 and so I reverted to build 2409.
To do that I ran CMD (as admisnitrator) and navigated to:
"\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun" then press enter
Then run: officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.15427.20194 then press enter
I've also turned off updates in Office which is not a great idea but hopefully this feature will become optional in a future build.
Good luck
