Copilot for Word: A Primer on capabilities including Formatting Legal Documents

Copilot is Microsoft’s AI assistant, and it works directly inside Microsoft Word. This webinar shows lawyers how to put it to use through live demonstrations on different legal document examples — summarizing, drafting, editing, and formatting. The session opens with a Copilot overview and builds toward the document tasks that consume a lawyer’s day.

The gains are concrete. Ask Copilot to summarize or draft a Word document. Apply character and paragraph formats without hunting through menus. Put it to work on styles and tables. Have it insert page numbering and footers, then assist with a Table of Contents and a Table of Authorities. In Copilot Chat, answer questions, analyze documents, work with PDFs, and extract data.

None of it lands without the right instructions, so the program develops effective prompting skills — tips and best practices for getting usable output the first time. Attendees leave knowing what Copilot can do inside Word, and how to ask for it.
