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! 🙃Opciones de Copilot e IA no funcionan en apps de android para tablet
Tengo suscripcion activa de Microsoft 365 Copilot personal y en todos mis dispositivos(Laptops, Mac, Samsung android, iPhone e iPad) aparecen funciones de Copilot e IA, pero unicamente en mi tablet Samsung s10 FE no aparecen ni en word, ni en powerpoint y menos en excel. Ayuda
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.
Copilot Prompt recommendation disappear in Word Online
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that the Copilot prompt recommendation no longer appears in Word Online. Normally, when I type "prepare," I see a suggested prompt, but now I only see my prompt history. In the MS365 app, however, the recommendations still appear. I’ve confirmed that I have an active full Copilot license and that all MS products are updated. Has Microsoft removed this feature, or is there a setting I can enable to restore it? This feature is very helpful for quickly generating accurate prompts. Thanks in advance!
Part 5: Prompt Library + Slash — Building an All-in-One UX
TL;DR: Library = foundation, Slash = acceleration, 365 expansion = vision. The Problem We reuse the same prompts (summaries, draft replies, comparisons), but they get buried in chat history. Copy-paste is clumsy—especially for digital beginners. 👉As developers, we must design inclusivity + efficiency into Copilot. 1) Prompt Library in the Sidebar (for beginners, explained to developers) Save directly from chat Organize by category One-click insert Purpose: support beginners and seniors who struggle with bookmarks or copy-paste. For developers, this is the inclusivity baseline—without it, a large segment is left behind. 2) Slash Commands (for experienced users, including developers) /summary → instant draft in Word /diagram → structure in PowerPoint /reply → email text in Outlook Excel: handled via a command palette outside the cell (e.g., Ctrl+/) to avoid input conflicts. Why it matters (dev): Proven Loop “/” mechanism → technically low lift Keeps advanced users in flow High ROI: minimal engineering, massive UX payoff 3) Expand Slash Across Microsoft 365 Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel. Unified command style = unified Copilot UX. 👉 That’s what makes Copilot the true all-in-one entry point. Why It Matters Inclusivity: Library ensures no one is excluded Efficiency: Slash preserves flow for advanced users Unified UX: consistent across all 365 apps Cost-effective: small feature, outsized impact 👉 Next step for devs: prototype Library (save/insert) + basic Slash picker in Word, using the Loop “/” pattern. Dogfood, then fan-out. Stay tuned — Part 6: “Microsoft, let’s move forward together!” ✅ 第5弾：プロンプトライブラリ＋スラッシュ ― オールインワンUXへの布石 要点: ライブラリ＝基盤、スラッシュ＝推進力、365展開＝未来像。 課題 「また同じプロンプト使いたいのに、どこだっけ？」 要約、返信下書き、比較…。気づけばチャット履歴に埋もれ、コピペ探しの旅に。 特に初心者やシニアには、この“コピペ頼み”が大きな壁になります。 👉 Copilotが“入口”を名乗るなら、ここを放置するのは致命的。 解決の二本柱 ① サイドバーのプロンプトライブラリ（弱者を救う基盤） チャットから直接保存 カテゴリ整理 ワンクリック呼び出し 「ブックマーク？コピペ？」で迷う層を置き去りにしない。 開発者にとってはこれは包括性の最低ライン。 ② スラッシュ呼び出し（経験者を加速する推進力） /要約 → Wordで即ドラフト /図解 → PowerPointで構造化 /返信 → Outlookで定型文展開 Excelは「セル外コマンドパレット（例：Ctrl+/）」で衝突回避すれば十分対応可能 既にLoopで実証済みの「/」を流用できる。 👉低工数・高ROIで、経験者はフローを途切れさせずに走り続けられる。 ③ 365全体への展開（未来を形づくるビジョン） Word、PowerPoint、Outlook、Excelで共通の操作スタイル。 👉Copilotを真のオールインワン入口に。 なぜ重要か 包括性： ライブラリで誰も取り残さない 効率性： スラッシュで流れを止めない 統一感： 365全体で同じUX コスパ： 小さな実装で大きな効果 ライブラリ＝基盤、スラッシュ＝推進力、365展開＝未来像。 次回、第6弾は 「Microsoftよ、ともに行こう！」Copilot and large documents
I have a very large document. It is over 67000 words and over 200 pages. I tried to use the embedded copilot and it is worthless. The response time when it responds to a conversation is minutes. The response is one word at a time. It can take 5-10 minutes to repeat a long paragraph. I have used the free copilot app and copy/past back and forth. This works great until my conversation is truncated. Then copilot loses context around my document and the responses become almost useless without telling it what to do word for word. I am writing a novel. After truncation, it does not know any character names. Their personalities, anything. I get tons of sequence errors and logic issues. I can use it for a few days and get it working great. Then the conversation is truncated and I have to start over again. I tried attaching my document to the copilot app. I get a message that the content is too dark. It is about a young girl who is burned in a fire and how she succeeds after that. No cusswords, no graphic sex. Just the scene of escaping from a fire and getting burned. I really am not finding copilot as useful as it could be if I had space to save conversations.
