How to disable Copilot in Microsoft Word

If you do use Microsoft Word, you may have noticed the "draft with Copilot" icon that Microsoft added to it. It is displayed whenever you create a new document.

Note: unlike many other settings, disabling Copilot has no effect on other Office applications. You will notice that Copilot remains enabled in Excel, for instance.
This means, that you need to disable Copilot in all apps of the Office suite that you use to remove it from all of them.
The process is identical, you only need to launch the desired app instead of Microsoft Word to follow the instructions.

Good to know. To my understanding this will only be in 365 and they will charge more for it moving forward. I'm really considering switching to a permanent license to rid myself of this unless they somehow convince me that this is a feature I want at all.
