Use Copilot

You can similarly use Copilot as you use ChatGPT in your browser. The interactive Copilot panel contains a textbox for your prompts, offers quick commands, and displays the answers.
  1. Open a document to work with, then click Copilot on the Home tab of the Ribbon.
    The Copilot panel opens on the right, greeting the user and parsing the content of the active document.
  2. If the error message below appears on the panel, click Go to Options and set up the AI service before use. See Prepare Copilot for details.

    The Key setting is empty. Please check Copilot options and try again.

  3. Once the parsing process is complete, Copilot offers a set of relevant commands tailored to the document content. These suggestions can assist the user in starting their editing tasks efficiently. To start quickly, select one of the commands, for example:
    • Translate
    • Summarize
  4. To give custom prompts, use the textbox at the bottom. Use clear, natural language, as if talking to a colleague. Hit Enter or click Send Question on the right when you completed the prompt.
  5. To change the scope of the answers, select one of the tabs at the top of the textbox.
    • Web: Copilot bases the answers on the internet, more precisely, the web content parsed by the connected OpenAI service.
    • Document: Copilot bases the answers on the content of the active document. This is the default setting.
    • Selection: Before clicking this tab, select the content in the active document on which Copilot should base the answers.
  6. In answers based on the document, click the inline citation numbers to display the corresponding section.
  7. To use the resulted text, do one of the following:
    • Click Copy at the bottom-right of the answer to copy the text into the clipboard.
    • Click the down arrow next to the Copy icon, then select Copy to note to add the text as a note.
  8. To reset the panel to its initial state, click Clear History on the left of the textbox. This operation does not alter the selected scope.
