Objectifs :

This video aims to demonstrate how to use Copilot to generate and refine a table from a document, specifically focusing on the history of France before the 20th century. It highlights the process of creating a structured summary, sorting events, and adding relevant details to enhance the table's comprehensiveness.

Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to Copilot and Table Generation
    Copilot is a powerful tool that allows users to generate automatic tables from documents. In this session, we will explore how to create a table from a document detailing the history of France before the 20th century. This process involves selecting the entire document and utilizing Copilot's features to transform the text into a structured format.
  2. Creating the Initial Table
    To begin, select the entire document using Control + A. Then, access the Copilot prompt by clicking on the designated icon and choose the option to view the content as a table. After a brief processing time, Copilot generates a tabular summary. However, it is important to note that the chronology of events may not be accurately represented in the first column.
  3. Refining the Table Structure
    Upon reviewing the initial table, it becomes clear that the chronological order of events needs adjustment. To improve the table, request a sorting of events based on the first column. This refinement enhances the clarity and organization of the information presented.
  4. Adding Details to the Table
    For further detail, you can refine the table structure by prompting Copilot to add a new column that includes the names of the kings or leaders associated with each historical period. After a few seconds, the updated table will reflect these changes, providing a more comprehensive overview of the historical context.
  5. Finalizing the Table
    Once the table is structured to your satisfaction, you can finalize it by adding a title in the first line of the table through the Copilot prompt area. It is important to note that while Copilot assists with content and structure, formatting actions such as color adjustments are not currently supported. Therefore, any final formatting will need to be handled manually.
  6. Conclusion and Future Prospects
    In conclusion, using Copilot for generating and refining tables can significantly enhance the editorial and synthetic aspects of document presentation. While there are limitations regarding formatting, the ability to create structured summaries is a valuable feature. As technology evolves, we can anticipate improvements in these functionalities, making tools like Copilot even more effective for users.

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

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.

00:00:30
especialmente a primeira coluna.
00:00:32
Percebi que a cronologia
00:00:33
não é necessariamente respeitado.
00:00:35
Por conseguinte,
00:00:35
em vez de manter a proposta inicial,
00:00:37
Vou refiná-lo solicitando uma classificação
00:00:40
de eventos com base na primeira coluna.
00:00:42
É muito melhor assim.
00:00:43
Por uma questão de pormenor,
00:00:45
Voltarei a refinar intervindo sobre
00:00:47
a estrutura da minha mesa escrevendo
00:00:49
um prompt pedindo ao Copilot para adicionar um
00:00:52
coluna com o nome do rei
00:00:54
ou líder associado a cada período.

no Assistente Copilot estão

00:01:15
Não é possível neste momento,
00:01:17
como vemos aqui, para expressar a formatação
00:01:20
ações como a cor no meu exemplo.
00:01:21
A finalização da formatação
00:01:23
continuará a ser a minha responsabilidade.
00:01:24
Podemos esperar uma evolução
00:01:26
a este respeito ao longo do tempo.
00:01:28
No entanto, guardei um
00:01:29
leitura e Copilot de confiança para
00:01:31
o aspecto editorial e sintético
00:01:33
relacionadas com a configuração do modo de tabela,
00:01:35
