You can't turn off Copilot in the web versions of Word, Excel, or PowerPoint

I switched entirely to Libreoffice a few years ago and am still waiting to slam into that "this feature is only found in real MS Office" wall that everybody told me was coming.

I don't think I'm going to switch back over OneDrive or Copilot integration.

Im still waiting as well. And while I’ve found it to be infuriating at times it is still better than „the real“ Office for everything I do.

The only issue I've run into is in Spreadsheet vs Excel:

I would like to multi-color a cell.

I believe Excel does this by dividing the cell diagonally and coloring each triangle differently.

In Spreadsheet, I just use a solid background and then a different color border.

Libreoffice has been fine for most use cases for over a decade. It's honestly just the UX that needs work

The only feature I miss from Word is their auto-format, which can take an unformatted or badly formatted peice of text and generally clean it up nicely.

This is primarily what I use copilot for!
