Summary
- Microsoft Office Word has received a significant upgrade with the addition of Copilot
- This AI tool helps untangle and simplify complex text into something anyone can understand
- The tool requires only a few prompts to help rewrite any jargon-filled or technical paragraph
- There are several ways to approach Copilot, and different prompts to try depending on the restructuring needed
- To rewrite text for an eighth-grade reading level or to provide a high-level summer of complex concepts
- To switch large blocks of text into bullet points or a table for easier scanning
- To rewrite passive-voice constructions to make the subject and action clearer
- Copilot is still AI, and not perfect, so tweaking the results is okay and even encouraged
