    None of what is mentioned in this or in any of the other threads where I posted works.

    Except the idiotic "cancel your Office subscription" idea.

    So, how the **** can we get rid of that ******* copilot icon on any text selection?

    We are on the very latest version of Office 365 Professional for Business. "> How the STUPID **** can we deactivate the **** Copilot icon on any **** text selection.

    That **** Icon is buggy as **** and prevents the proper selection of text, particularly selection of entire paragraphs with double click.

    The "Copilot" setting in the option settings is NOT **** there.
