Agent Mode in Word: Edit and Format a Word Document with Copilot
Turn document drafting into a conversation. This video introduces Agent Mode in Microsoft Word, an interactive feature that puts Copilot to work alongside you. Instead of formatting manually, you describe what you want and Copilot drafts, edits, and reformats the document as you go. Watch the video to see how Agent Mode supports the reports, proposals, and communications your nonprofit produces every week.
What is Agent Mode in Word?
Agent Mode in Word is a way to work with Microsoft 365 Copilot directly inside your Word documents so it can help you edit and format content in place. Instead of just generating new text, you describe your goal in natural language, and Agent Mode works alongside you to:
- Rewrite existing sections
- Add new content where you need it
- Adjust formatting and layout
- Make other targeted edits directly in the document
Think of it as a collaborative assistant that helps you reimagine and refine your document, based on the instructions you provide.
What can I ask Agent Mode in Word to do?
Agent Mode in Word is designed to respond to clear goals you describe in your own words. You can ask it to:
- Rewrite paragraphs to improve clarity or adjust tone
- Add new sections, examples, or explanations
- Format headings, lists, and other elements for consistency
- Refine specific parts of the document without changing everything
Because it works directly in the document, you see the changes in context and can quickly accept, adjust, or undo them as needed.
