PowerPoint Frontier Agent Missing on Web and Not Working on Desktop
Hi everyone, I’m seeing inconsistent availability of Frontier agents across Microsoft 365 apps and wanted to check whether others are experiencing the same. Excel (web) → Frontier agent available Word (web) → Frontier agent available PowerPoint (web) → Frontier agent missing PowerPoint (desktop) → Frontier agent appears, but does not generate any text. The panel keeps loading indefinitely.. I’ve confirmed I’m on Microsoft 365 Premium and using the Beta Channel. Is this a known rollout gap, or is there something I should check on my end? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!PowerPoint Frontier Agent Missing on Web and Not Working on Desktop

Microsoft copilot stops while giving a response.
Why is this happening? Is there a solution for this? It just stops while giving response. And it has happened several times. And you can't even give prompt to continue from there. You should restart it. Does anyone have a solution for this? and I have restarted and reinstalled it 1000 times.
📌 Enhancing Arabic Language Support and Multilingual Intent Accuracy in Microsoft 365 Copilot
Hello Microsoft 365 Copilot Team, I would like to submit a formal proposal requesting an enhancement to the Arabic language experience and the multilingual intent-handling capabilities within Microsoft 365 Copilot. This proposal is based on practical observations across real usage scenarios in environments where users actively switch between Arabic and English for daily productivity tasks. 1. Background and Context Microsoft 365 Copilot has demonstrated exceptional performance in English-language workflows. However, in regions such as the Middle East—where a significant portion of users operate in bilingual environments—there remain notable gaps in language interpretation, UI localization, and multilingual intent retention. Enhancing Arabic language capabilities would meaningfully improve accessibility and align Copilot with the linguistic diversity of Microsoft’s global user base. 2. Observed Challenges in Current Behavior While Copilot excels in English, several recurring issues appear when interacting in Arabic or mixed Arabic–English contexts, including: Limited accuracy in understanding complex Arabic phrasing Reduced reliability when maintaining intent after switching languages within a single prompt Lower naturalness and structure in Arabic text generation when compared to English output Restricted availability of Arabic UI options for Copilot-specific interfaces Occasional misinterpretation of instructions containing blended terminology (Arabic user phrasing + English technical terms) These challenges collectively impact productivity and consistency for users who depend on Arabic as a primary working language. 3. Proposed Enhancements To ensure a more inclusive and reliable multilingual experience, the following improvements are recommended: 3.1 Full Arabic UI Support Across Copilot Surfaces Enable comprehensive Arabic interface options in all Copilot experiences, including Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and online applications. 3.2 Improved Arabic Natural Language Processing Enhance Copilot’s ability to understand and process Arabic grammar structures, context, dialectal variations, and hybrid Arabic–English prompts. 3.3 High‑Quality Arabic Text Generation Ensure outputs are clear, natural, and aligned with the stylistic expectations of native Arabic-speaking users. 3.4 Intelligent Multilingual Context Preservation Implement mechanisms that allow Copilot to maintain accurate intent when users transition between languages within the same instruction. 3.5 User‑Controlled Language Preference Settings Provide configurable options enabling users to define preferred input and output languages on a per-application or global basis. 4. Anticipated Benefits Implementing these enhancements is expected to: Improve overall accessibility for Arabic-speaking users Strengthen productivity across bilingual workflows Expand the suitability of Copilot for enterprise and governmental organizations operating in Arabic-speaking regions Increase adoption and satisfaction within a key growth market Align Copilot’s capabilities with diverse global language expectations These improvements would strongly support Microsoft’s broader mission of delivering inclusive, globally relevant AI-driven experiences. 5. Closing Statement Thank you for taking the time to review this proposal. Advancing Arabic language support and strengthening multilingual intent handling would provide significant value to a large and growing segment of Microsoft 365 users. I appreciate your continued commitment to improving the Copilot experience for users worldwide.
How can I permanently remove the irritating copilot icon from my word document
How do I get rid of this from the documents I create? I have copilot switched off in preferences and I have it deleted from my menu bar and yet, I just can't get rid of this icon/text? How do I just get a normal word document? I noticed that my subscription sneakily went up to £105 per year from £80 per year and the only way to revert back to my old subscription was to cancel it. So, I don't have copilot switched on, nor am I or will I pay for it but the copilot prompt just won't disappear. Any ideas would be welcome... thanksOverview of Copilot solutions and Key Benefits

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 around on my screen to be annoying and distracting, I've managed to hide or disable anything related to copilot on my system except this little dingbat. When a new document is open you get a little message that says "Select the icon or press Alt + i to draft with copilot" It would be nice if I could hide that as well, yes copilot is a *feature*, and I don't care about it. I also want to hide the paste with copilot and just used the local paste options that were built into previous versions of word. I suspect that there is a copilot dingbat that is stored somewhere on my system, possibly in a font, and as I have already made a few detrimental modifications to my operating system registry, I'm not wary of messing up my computer any more than it could be. The only saving grace I have at the moment is there is an issue with my account, so any accidental triggering of the feature causes it to crap out. (So long as I don't accidentally press the 'fix account" button) I know that if it was easy to turn off there would be a button for it, I know Microsoft probably wants us to use this feature because it means more data for them to collect, an I'm disappointed in the loss of user agency that's resulted from this rollout, and there's a spike in animosity towards AI in general.
Data Extraction and Manipulation
Right. So I have been trying to achieve the following; Extract Key Data from a structured PDF > Push this Key Data into a Word/Excel document I can get parts of this process to work. Copilot seems pretty good at extracting data from PDFs and Excel files etc, it will show me the correct data in the chat. BUT when I ask it to push this into a pre-existing word template it just doesnt work. The best result I had was when Copilot added the Key Data to the end of the Word doc. Not what I wanted but not a million miles off. Its also fine with putting this into a new word document. So it feels like Copilot has all the functionaility required but just wont combine this with using a pre-existing word/excel template. I even tried content control boxes. For some context, this sort of thing (basically copying pasting data from one doc to another) is incredibly time consuming and there is a LOT of this in my industry. Hoping that there is a way to achieve this, even if it means multiple steps etc! 🙃
