    Copilot allows you to generate an
    00:00:04
    automatic table from a document,
    00:00:06
    which can then be modified via your prompts.
    00:00:08
    I have here a document on the history
    00:00:11
    of France before the 20th century.
    00:00:13
    I would like to generate a
    00:00:15
    table from the entire text.
    00:00:17
    I then select the entire document
    00:00:19
    with Control A and choose in the
    00:00:21
    Copilot prompt by clicking on the
    00:00:23
    icon the option to view as a table.
    00:00:25
    After a few seconds,
    00:00:27
    a tabular summary is generated if
    00:00:29
    I carefully observe the result,
    00:00:30
    especially the first column.
    00:00:32
    I noticed that the chronology
    00:00:33
    is not necessarily respected.
    00:00:35
    Therefore,
    00:00:35
    instead of keeping the initial proposal,
    00:00:37
    I will refine it by requesting a sorting
    00:00:40
    of events based on the first column.
    00:00:42
    It's much better this way.
    00:00:43
    For the sake of detail,
    00:00:45
    I will refine again by intervening on
    00:00:47
    the structure of my table by writing
    00:00:49
    a prompt asking Copilot to add a
    00:00:52
    column containing the name of the king
    00:00:54
    or leader associated with each period.
    00:00:59
    After a few seconds,
    00:01:00
    I have my table as expected.
    00:01:02
    I can finalize by adding a title
    00:01:04
    in the first line of the table,
    00:01:06
    still in the copilot prompt area.
    00:01:10
    Be aware, the requests expressed
    00:01:12
    in the Copilot assistant are
    00:01:13
    related to content and structure.
    00:01:15
    It is not possible at the moment,
    00:01:17
    as we see here, to express formatting
    00:01:20
    actions like color in my example.
    00:01:21
    The finalization of the formatting
    00:01:23
    will remain my responsibility.
    00:01:24
    We can hope for an evolution
    00:01:26
    in this regard over time.
    00:01:28
    I have nevertheless saved a
    00:01:29
    reading and trusted Copilot for
    00:01:31
    the editorial and synthetic aspect
    00:01:33
    related to the table mode setting,
    00:01:35
    and that's already not so bad.
