Copilot in Word allows you to leverage the power of AI to go from a blank page to a complete draft. But apart from just writing from scratch, I’ve also been using Copilot to analyze and transform my documents.

Copilot can help you create a new document from scratch or work on an existing one. Click on the Copilot icon in the left margin of a document, and in the Draft with Copilot window, give a straightforward prompt or describe a complex request.

In a document with existing content, you can also use the Inspire Me button to have Copilot automatically write for you based on the content already in your document.

Once Copilot generates content, you can Keep, Discard, or Regenerate it to provide a different version. Click < and > to navigate through Copilot's suggestions. Of course, at any point, you can also change your starting prompt. Additionally, in the Copilot compose box, you can add further instructions to change the tone or style of the response, like making it more concise or changing the vibe to be more casual.

If you’ve already written some content, you can seek Copilot’s help to improve it. Highlight the text, and then in the left margin next to the selected text, click the Copilot icon, and select Auto Rewrite to have Copilot provide rewritten options.
