    To disable Copilot in Microsoft Word, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check for Updates: Ensure that you have the latest update installed. The 16.103.1 update has been reported to remove the Copilot logo from the Word interface. This update is available through the Current Channel (Preview) and should be released to everyone soon.
    2. Disable Copilot: If you have the option to disable Copilot in the settings, make sure to do so. However, if you find that Copilot remains visible even after disabling it, the update may be necessary to fully remove it from your interface.

    If you continue to experience issues with Copilot after these steps, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance.
