Agent Mode in Word: Edit and Format a Word Document with Copilot
This video shows Agent Mode in Microsoft Word streamlines work. Watch it to see Microsoft 365 Copilot in action-working alongside humans to edit documents directly.
What is Agent Mode in Word?
Agent Mode in Word is a way to work with Microsoft 365 Copilot directly inside your Word document. Instead of just asking for suggestions, you describe your goal in natural language, and Agent Mode actively edits the document for you.
It can help with tasks such as:
- Rewriting sections for clarity or tone
- Adding new content based on your instructions
- Adjusting formatting to match your preferences
- Making other targeted changes throughout the document
Think of it as a collaborative assistant that helps you reimagine how you draft, refine, and format content in Word.
What can I use Agent Mode in Word for?
Agent Mode in Word is designed to support a range of everyday document tasks. After you describe what you want to achieve, it can:
- Rewrite content – improve wording, adjust tone, or simplify complex sections
- Add new material – expand on a topic, insert examples, or create new sections
- Format your document – apply consistent styles, headings, and layout changes
- Make targeted edits – refine specific paragraphs, bullet lists, or sections you point out
This helps you reshape how you work in Word, moving from manual line-by-line edits to more goal-driven collaboration with Copilot.
How can I try Agent Mode in Word?
Agent Mode in Word is currently available through Microsoft’s Frontier early access program. To try it:
- Confirm you’re using Microsoft 365 with access to Copilot features.
- Join or request access to the Frontier early access program, where Agent Mode in Word is being made available.
- Once enabled, open Word, describe your goal to Copilot in Agent Mode, and let it begin editing and formatting your document directly.
As this is an early access experience, availability may be limited and may evolve over time as Microsoft continues to refine the feature.
