How do I select to do a rewrite, so I can have a replace button? ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of David Goldfield via groups.io ? Konnie, I do see what you mean. When I select the text, press alt+I and choose to enter a prompt, the drafted text is written below my original text and there is no button to replace it. If I select to have Copilot do a rewrite, there is a Replace button. I¡¯m not sure why the interface is inconsistent but I¡¯ll admit I¡¯m very new to using Copilot in Word and so there may be reasons for it that aren¡¯t obvious to me but which may be perfectly valid. ?

From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Konnie Ellis via groups.io ? I wasn¡¯t selecting any text. Is that a necessary part of the procedure? If so, how much text can be selected? I guess I will go back to the drawingboard and do some experimenting. Thanks for the tip. I¡¯m going to try to select the entire document, because it consists of dates, and each date is followed by other information. I would like all of the dates to be written in a different format than they are currently. So that¡¯s the goal I¡¯m going to be testing. Konnie ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of David Goldfield via groups.io ? Hi, Konnie. After I select the text and tell Copilot to rewrite it via the alt+I menu, press tab and you¡¯ll find a ¡°Replace¡± button. If you¡¯re interacting with Copilot using another method, please share the steps you¡¯re taking? ? David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist ? ?

Email: [email protected] ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Konnie Ellis via groups.io ? When I type my prompt into copilot and generate a draft with my changes, it asks if I would like to keep it or not. When I tell it to keep the draft, the original document is written underneath the generated draft. Obviously, I only want the new draft. I called Microsoft through Be My Eyes, and the person helping me was unable to resolve the issue. Any tips appreciated. ? Word 365, Windows 11, NVDA Screen Reader ? Konnie |
