Microsoft Copilot for Word allows

00:00:04

you to rework your existing

00:00:05

documents in several ways.

00:00:07

The rephrasing of one or more blocks,

00:00:09

or even the entire document

00:00:11

can be done quite easily.

00:00:13

Here, for example,

00:00:14

I will select three paragraphs of my text.

00:00:17

The first possibility is then to click

00:00:19

on the Copilot icon next to my text and

00:00:22

select the Rewrite option from the menu.

00:00:25

Once the proposal is generated,

00:00:26

I can if necessary,

00:00:28

ask for another proposal using the

00:00:30

Regeneration icon or ask Copilot

00:00:32

for a version with a different tone.

00:00:35

Satisfied with the initial proposal,

00:00:37

I click on Replace to insert

00:00:39

the generated blocks.

00:00:40

It is also possible to solicit the

00:00:42

Copilot chat directly from the ribbon.

00:00:45

Other options will then be offered to me.

00:00:48

Here I decide to ask Copilot to write a

00:00:51

concluding paragraph for the document.

00:00:53

I finalize by copying and pasting into

00:00:55

my document in conversational mode.

00:00:57

In this Copilot panel,

00:00:59

I can make more global rewriting requests.

00:01:01

Here, for example,

00:01:02

I request a complete rewrite

00:01:05

in a casual mode.

00:01:06

Once generated,

00:01:07

I can view the result and the references,

00:01:10

that is the blocks of my document

00:01:12

identified as relevant by the

00:01:14

copilot for my rewriting.

00:01:15

In my case I will copy and paste

00:01:18

the result into a blank document.

00:01:23

In the Copilot panel,

00:01:24

it is interesting to note the prompt

00:01:27

suggestions that allow you to discover

00:01:29

examples of requests manageable by Copilot.

00:01:32

It can be interesting, for example,

00:01:34

to entrust copilot with generating

00:01:36

a summary of the document.

00:01:38

For each generated result,

00:01:40

Microsoft Copilot will offer me prompt

00:01:42

suggestions to change, for example,

00:01:44

the previously generated summary

00:01:46

and make it shorter or longer.

00:01:48

It is also possible to generate

00:01:50

your request by writing the prompt

00:01:53

without using the suggestions.

00:01:55

Be aware that the requests you

00:01:57

generate may not succeed whether

00:01:59

your prompts are entered manually

00:02:00

or by clicking on a suggestion,

00:02:03

so do not hesitate to reformulate

00:02:05

your request differently.

00:02:06

To conclude on this notion of

00:02:08

rewriting and summarizing,

00:02:09

know that other prompt suggestions

00:02:11

are available by clicking on the icon

00:02:14

resembling a small book view prompt.

00:02:16

The prompt proposals will be related

00:02:18

to the creation of editorial content,

00:02:21

document analysis,

00:02:21

or requests related to user support or

00:02:24

the optimization of existing documents.
