Microsoft Copilot and the influence on Office documents

Microsoft Copilot was created to unleash creativity, unlock productivity, and improve all workers' skills. It combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data in Microsoft 365 applications to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool.

Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 and is built into applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and others. Today we will find out how to use Copilot in Microsoft 365 applications and how it can improve day-to-day efficiency. 

In general, Copilot appears in Office applications (Microsoft 365) as a useful chatbot in the sidebar. However, Microsoft has customized Copilot for each Office application, so there are different ways to control it. Learn about some of Copilot's features in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint:

• Word
  • Turn a PowerPoint or Excel table into text, just by dragging the file into Word;
  • Define keywords for Copilot to write a text for you;
  • Rewriting paragraphs with text suggestions;
  • Summarize documents;
  • Generate entire documents.

 

• Excel
  • Generate pivot tables;
  • Creating graphs;
  • Analyzing rows and columns of data;
  • Help with formulas and data comparisons. 

 

• PowerPoint
  • Change colors easily, just by asking Copilot to do so;
  • Turning texts into presentations, just by dragging the file into PowerPoint;
  • Editing images.

Copilot is designed to protect technical, group, and individual data. Thanks to Microsoft's permission models, it is guaranteed that information is not shared widely between users. With Copilot you only have access to the data that you can access, as it has embedded in it the same technology that they have been using for many years to protect customer data.

The future is happening now. Some of the next features that Microsoft intends to develop using AI are the generation of images and video, in addition to text. All these Copilot applications for Office and Microsoft 365 will change the way people communicate and work, especially as this product evolves over the next few years.
