I am using a Macbook Air, last week I tried the free trial of the copilot, but since I don't find it helpful, and even my word keeps on lagging, now I want to disable the copilot.

I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft 365, and several tips on the internet, but none of them is working. The copilot is still there. and I find it so annoying.

Can someone help me to show me the way to disable the copilot, please?

Thank you!

    Following the instructions exactly - there is no option to remove CoPilot. Still receiving intrusive, unwanted interruptions in Office 365 Apps. I'll be dumping the app if this is not fixed shortly.

    I have that version of Word for Mac and I cannot find any such checkbox.

    Perhaps you can tell us where it is.

    I have Word for Mac 16.93. There is no 'authoring and proofing tools' option in preferences. There never has been. There has only ever been an 'edit' or 'spelling and grammar' option. Could people please stop making rubbish suggestions.

    Stop using Word, Excel, etc, use Pages, Numbers, from Apple.

    The whole exercise of slipping the app in with no permission and making it close to impossible to remove is manipulative and unacceptable. Things like this have to be resisted.
