Trying to play around with #Copilot in #MicrosoftWord, but it failed immediately because... I don't have a default printer installed. 💀

​Turns out, #Word still relies on a printer driver to determine page layout. Because of that, Copilot claimed it couldn't access the document at all.

Alright #MicrosoftWord experts I need your help because an annoyance has returned. I don't mind if Word corrects a misspelled word but as I'm typing, every 15 seconds or so Jaws For Windows keeps trying to say the word suggestion or something like it and it's driving me mad. There used to be a way to stop this nonsense but my brain can't remember how one does it.
