I have a Microsoft Premium Subscription, but no deep integration of co-pilot into Powerpoint.

Question

I bought the Microsoft Premium Subscription for an annual fee of about GBP189. I did this as a I read that it offered deep co-pilot ai integration into MS Office Apps such as Power-point and Excel. But -when I install Microsoft 365 apps and run Powerpoint and Excel, it only loads a 'chat' version of co-pilot. Not a deeply integrated one. I have subsequently seen that you might need Co-pilot Pro for deep integration, but this is extremely misleading if this is the case. I've also been told that my installs, despite using the official installation site, is loading the 2022 version of Powerpoint - which doesn't support co-pilot integration. I am pretty confused. Hoping someone can sort this.

Hello !Firstly, try to completely uninstall old versions of Microsoft Office by using the uninstall troubleshooter : https://aka.ms/SaRA-officeUninstallFromPC

Follow the steps outlined here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/uninstall-microsoft-365-or-office-from-a-pc-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8

Once done, go to https://account.microsoft.com/services/microsoft365/details?openInstall=true# to download the latest Office installer. Download it, and install Office. You'll be asked to log into your Microsoft account : use the one that has Microsoft 365 Premium.

To check if your Copilot features are enabled, open Excel and enter " =COPILOT " in a cell. You should see the function.

Looking forward to your answer !
