    CoPilot is making me crazy! Whoever thought it was a good idea to embed this thing in the program is ruining my day.

    I'm using the latest version of Word on my new Mac and, per the above, "Options" does not show up under the file tab.

    I have looked everywhere on my subscription settings to turn it off and have disabled all Diagnostic and Connected Experiences in the Privacy Settings of Word. I don't see an Enable/Disable CoPilot button anywhere.

    And Copilot.Still.Shows.Up!!!!

    Why not just put it right up there with the icon itself in the ribbon BTW rather than making users hunt for it!?

    I cannot work with this thing interuptting me. Any other steps I can take?

    Yes, it works fine. Users must just remember also to click OK after unchecking the copilot button.
