I want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.
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...
Found it, and unchecking the box worked. From inside of Word, File-->Options-->Copilot.
Here's how to get rid of the stinking Copilot poop emoji that follows you around in Word (365 for Mac)—and save yourself $30 to boot! The option to turn it off does NOT exist in Word version 16.93 (25011212) Preferences. Turning off Connected Experiences does NOT remove it. After over an hour of frustrating chatting with M$ I was finally offered the solution: 1) Manage your subscription to Office 365; 2) Select CANCEL; 3) Choose Classic subscription for the old price of $69.99; 4) Restart Mac TWO TIMES; 4) Launch Word and go to Preferences, where the CoPoop option now appears; 5) Deselect it. You are now free of CoPoop and have saved $30.
Please be sure to inform M$ of how much you appreciate having Clippy 2.0 shoved down your throat with a 50% price increase and no simple way to remove it!
I was able to select Classic, but after restarting twice, the dang dingbat is still there. My subscription doesn't renew until April. Maybe I have to wait until then? On a Mac, which doesn't have the Options option in the File dropdown.
