Inserting new content with Copilot in Word
Sometimes you don't want to rewrite anything — you just want to add a new chunk of text at a specific point in the document. Copilot can do this without touching what's already written.
Place your cursor where the new content should appear, then open Copilot:
- Click the magic pen icon;
- Right-click and choose Copilot.
Writing the prompt
Describe what you want to add. Be specific — the more concrete the prompt, the more useful the draft.
For example, if a hotel description is missing a section about the rooms, you could prompt:
Add a paragraph describing the rooms: spacious, sea views, soundproofing, en-suite bathrooms, orthopedic mattresses.
Copilot generates a draft and inserts it at the cursor.
When the result isn't quite right
You have two options:
- Regenerate — get a new version with the same prompt;
- Refine the prompt — give Copilot more direction (tone, length, missing details).
Regenerate when the output is close but you want a different angle. Refine when the prompt itself was too vague.
Not just short additions
This isn't limited to a sentence or two. With a structural prompt, Copilot can generate a full section or even a chapter from the same cursor position. That makes it useful for:
- Filling gaps in an incomplete draft;
- Expanding a thin section into something fuller;
- Exploring a new direction without rewriting earlier parts.
1. You've used Copilot to insert a new paragraph, and the result is close — the tone is right, but one important detail is missing. Better move?
2. What's the key difference between inserting content with Copilot and editing a specific section?
