COPILOT BLOCKS NEW WORD DOCUMENTS - SOLUTION
MS Copilot has started appearing and BLOCKING whenever a new Word Document is started/opened.
It took several trial prompts using copilot to solve this. Here's the right prompt and an apparently correct answer:
HOW CAN I STOP COPILOT FROM BLOCKING ME FROM WRITING WHEN I OPEN A NEW DOCUMENT
COPILOT:
I understand how frustrating that can be! To stop Copilot from blocking you when you open a new document in Word, you can disable the feature. Here's how:
Open Word and go to the File menu.
Select Options.
In the Word Options dialog box, go to the Copilot section.
Uncheck the box that says Enable Copilot.
Click OK to save your changes.
This should disable Copilot and allow you to write without interruptions. If you're using a different Office app, the steps might be slightly different, but the general approach is the same.
