Remove Copilot from Word

The latest Microsoft 365 Update has added a Copilot function to Word. Now every time I create a new paragraph, a little copilot symbol appears in the left-hand margin prompting me to use copilot. It is extremely annoying and distracting. How do I stop this symbol appearing, or better, remove copilot from Word?

    But it isn't OFF is it. It is "disabled" with no warranty that it is not active in the background collecting and sending information. And now the Copilot Icon has started appearing (faded out) in Word on the right hand side of the Menu (Office365 of Mac). Although it is faded out, when I clicked on it I got a popup identifying as "google updater" which disappeared after a few seconds.

    We are paying for something we don't want, and it is being used in spite of supposed disablement.

    Nasty.
