Revolutionizing Productivity Across Apps with M365 Copilot

I am thrilled to announce that I will be speaking at the Administrative Professionals Conference in Aurora, CO, on October 29. My session, titled "M365 Copilot: Revolutionizing Productivity Across Apps," will delve into how Microsoft 365 Copilot is transforming the way we work by integrating seamlessly into various Microsoft 365 applications. Let's explore what Copilot can do in Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams, OneDrive, OneNote, and Excel.

Administrative Professionals Conference in Aurora, CO - October 2024

The Administrative Professionals Conference is the premier annual training event for administrative professionals and executive assistants.

Word Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word is a game-changer for document creation and editing. It can draft documents based on prompts, summarize lengthy texts, generate ideas and outlines, and even edit and improve your writing style. Additionally, Copilot can create and format tables and lists, making document management more efficient.

Copilot in Word: Refine your Word Docs

I demonstrate how to use Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word to refine and perfect your documents. Watch as I plan a three-day conference in November, including setting up breakout sessions, keynote addresses, and after-hours events. See how Copilot makes tasks like formatting and adding details a breeze by following my prompts and generating refined drafts. Whether you're organizing events or managing reports, this tool can save you significant time. 

PowerPoint Copilot in PowerPoint helps you design stunning presentations effortlessly. It can design slides based on your content, suggest layouts and themes, create speaker notes, summarize key points, and generate visual elements like charts and images. This ensures that your presentations are not only informative but also visually appealing.

NEW Copilot Feature: PowerPoint Presentation from a PDF file

I demonstrate the NEW Copilot feature, which enables users to create a PowerPoint presentation straight from a PDF. I show you how to transform a 42-page PDF into a sleek PowerPoint presentation with just a few clicks. We'll explore how Copilot intelligently generates outlines and speaker notes and even incorporates graphics and tables from your PDF.

Outlook Managing emails can be overwhelming, but Copilot in Outlook makes it easier. It can summarize long email threads, draft email responses, schedule meetings and appointments, organize and prioritize emails, and provide reminders and follow-ups. This helps you stay on top of your inbox and manage your time more effectively.

Teams In Teams, Copilot enhances collaboration by summarizing meeting discussions, generating action items, transcribing meeting notes, scheduling follow-up meetings, and providing insights and analytics on team collaboration. This ensures that everyone is on the same page and that meetings are productive.
