I just got the notification today when opening Office programs that copilot was there
all the help threads about how to turn it off have out of date info. seems like you can no longer disable it in Excel/Word/PowerPoint
The disabling process is kinda convoluted.
This is one reason I'm so glad we devs can install linux at work. I have LibreOffice installed sure, but if I need to use the Microsoft Office suite for some reason, it all works great as webpages in librewolf!
You can disable it with the uninstall function.
Microsoft Works 2000 still works fine.
This comment is fantastically chaotic and I love it so much.
RIP Microsoft Works, what a legend.
It still works for me at least? In the office options, there's a Copilot section with a single "Enable Copilot" checkbox. You'll need to disable it per app though.
yeah that's the checkbox that doesn't exist for me in the copilot section that also doesn't exist for me
