Use LibreOffice instead and if someone actually needs Word files, "Save As"?
I stopped using anything from M$ years ago and my world is a much better place.

I can't believe I've reached this point of Linux guydom but the way to get rid of this Copilot shit is to use LibreOffice instead
Is there a way to get this mind-numbing Co-Pilot shit off Microsoft Word?

OR you could just install Libreoffice on Windows. I also know Only Office has a PDF editor. Both are free for everyone :)

I'm gonna get yelled at for this, but you can download LibreOffice for free. You do have to learn a slightly different interface, but you never have to worry about this AI enshittification drive MS is on. The time has never been better to switch.

I have been exclusively using libreoffice for over a decade, so no that will not be a problem.

I don't mean to be that guy, but the open source alternatives have actually gotten really good. I'd encourage you to at least try OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

So the first time I try to use Word after the lovely copilot badge sent me to try LibreOffice... it crashes trying to handle track changes and comments.
What has Microsoft *done* to the poor thing?

15 o més anys enrere vaig començar amb Libreoffice i la cosa es va complicar en dos dies. Em vaig passar a Latex, amb l'editor Kile i és meravellós, un cop t'has barallat amb els paquets i les configuracions.

I gave up on Word 2 yrs ago & switched to LibreOffice. I feel your pain re: using an older PC. I periodically disable some services that Microsoft thinks I need, run disk cleanup, delete temp files, etc. Maxing out the RAM can help (assuming it's upgradable).

Gotta love how despite using powershell to remove copilot entirely from Win10, there's now a forced copilot client inside of word that I can't get rid of. I'm trying to write. In a word processor. I don't want to generate shit.
I'm gonna move to Linux and use LibreOffice when I can. Fuck this

Came here to say that if you happen to have an old version and disable updates, it won't override that.
But I'd add that Open Office (still available), even without future updates coming, is superior to LibreOffice. (I got LO to try, expecting an improved OO, and uninstalled it within an hour)
