I just purchased the first license for my organisation and am trialing it after reviewing the Microsoft promo material. The promo material had it writing copy, formating and inserting images and all sorts of stuff.

I purchased a license mainly because we burn a lot of time in my company doing something I would thought would be simple for Copilot, fixing document styles and formatting. We write a lot of documents for clients using their templates and this often means we’re merging content from our own internal records into client templates. So I was planning on using Copilot to fix styles after inserting content instead of a person spending hours making sure everything in perfect.

The very first document I try this on, I get the following message when I asked it to “Apply consistent styles and formatting to the entire document” (and this came up as pre-filled selection option after copying and pasting suggesting it’s capable of this):

“As Microsoft 365 Copilot, my role is to assist you within the chat interface by providing information, guidance, and support. I’m here to help you with tasks such as summarizing documents, generating content, and answering questions based on the information available to me. However, I don’t have the capability to directly edit or change documents. If you need assistance with formatting or editing your document, I can guide you through the steps or provide tips on how to achieve your desired outcome. Feel free to ask for any help you need with your document!”

What on earth?? Is this for real, it’s the whole reason that I forked out for this overpriced chatbot.

Please tell me i’ve done something wrong with the configuration?
