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.
