rework your existing documents in several ways.

00:00:09

The reformulation of one or more blocks or even

00:00:11

the entire document can be done quite easily.

00:00:15

I'm going to select 3 paragraphs from my text here,

00:00:17

for example.

00:00:18

Then click on the co-pilot icon available here

00:00:21

and select the automatic rewrite option from the menu.

00:00:26

Once the proposals have been generated,

00:00:28

I can request another proposal using the regenerate icon if necessary,

00:00:33

or enter the change I want to obtain.

00:00:36

The initial proposal being satisfactory to me,

00:00:39

I click on replace to insert the blocks generated via the AI.

00:00:44

It is also possible to solicit the co-pilot flap directly from the ribbon.

00:00:49

Other options will then be offered to me.

00:00:52

I decide here to ask co-pilot to write me a concluding paragraph for the document.

00:01:00

I finalize by clicking on insert to add it to my document.

00:01:05

Here I can view the references.

00:01:07

That is,

00:01:08

the blocks of my document identified as relevant by co-pilot.

00:01:12

In my case,

00:01:13

I'm going to copy and paste the result into a blank document.

00:01:17

In the copilot section,

00:01:18

it is interesting to note the prompt proposals

00:01:22

that allow you to discover examples of requests manageable by co-pilot.

00:01:27

For example,

00:01:28

it may be interesting to entrust co-pilot

00:01:30

with generating a summary of the document.

00:01:33

For each proposal generated,

00:01:35

Microsoft co-pilot will offer me prompt suggestions

00:01:38

to change the tone of the previously generated summary or to detail it.

00:01:43

It is also possible to generate your request

00:01:46

by writing the prompt without using the suggestions.

00:01:49

Be careful,

00:01:50

it is possible that the request you generate will not be successful.

00:01:54

Whether your prompts go through typing or clicking on a suggestion,

00:01:58

do not hesitate to reformulate your request in another way.

00:02:02

Finally,

00:02:02

on this notion of rewriting and summarizing,

00:02:05

you should know that other prompt suggestions

00:02:07

are available by clicking on view prompts.

00:02:11

Prompt proposals will be related to the creation of editorial content,

00:02:15

document analysis,

00:02:17

or requests related to the support of

00:02:19

use or the optimization of existing documents.

00:02:23

You will also find the prompts that you have previously saved in Word.
