How to use Co Pilot?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI did a search with CGPT? but did not get a good answer to asked a Question about the Bible on Co Pilot in word. Can someone provide me with some step by step on how to do a search on Co Pilot in word? Thanks Mr. Ed |
Copilot in Word (or any of the Office Suite programs) is not an AI search, or definitely not primarily an AI search, but more of an AI assistant.
?
But if I open the Copilot sidebar/pane with Alt, H, F X, and then give the prompt, "Find me the Bible passage for the Sermon on the Mount," it returns the chunk of Matthew 5 for just that and has an Insert button after what it returns, which places that content in the document at wherever your insertion point was when you hit the button.

There's no way to answer this question broadly and generically.? We're at the stage where "playing with it" and seeing what you get in your circumstances is the best way to determine the behavior.? And even that is subject to change.
?
When I hit the insert button it inserted the exact Bible text returned with the citations regarding chapters and verses for each respective section, but it did not give any citation regarding which version of the Bible.? And based on the phrasing, it was clearly not King James.
?
Everyone who wants to know how this works, at this stage of the game, is going to be obligated to play with prompting Copilot based upon their own needs, seeing what Copilot returns, and then what you get when you choose to insert what is returned when one is using it to search for content (as opposed to draft a letter, or edit a letter, or similar).
?
This stuff is all too new, and all too "in flux" for any answer given today to necessarily be accurate tomorrow.? It's even more in a state of flux than Windows 10 was in the early days (and if you do searches on how to tweak all kinds of things under Windows 10, half of the answers or more that you get back are wrong just because the methods changed over time - they were right when the person wrote them, then things changed).? Learning "bleeding edge" stuff is work, period, and lots of trial and error is involved.? But, and I made this point in the other topic, you can actually get tons of really useful help on using Copilot in Office programs using the standalone AI searches to ask about it.? But like all things AI, what you get out comes from the quality of your prompt.? You need to give specific prompts.? "How do I use Copilot in Word?," is far too broad.? "How do I use Copilot in Word to write a business letter?," or, "How do I use Copilot in Word to help me polish my draft letter?," is not.? And the more specific you are in your prompts to AI about what you want back in a search or assistance with in an AI assistant situation, the better the results you'll get.? You just get to pose the questions in pretty close to entirely natural language.
