Adjust the tone in existing content

- [Instructor] In this chapter, we're going to look at some ways Copilot can help when you already have some content in your Word document, but maybe you don't like the way you worded a sentence or paragraph, or you want to strike a more casual tone. For this example, I have a draft of an article about the origins of Globe Bank, and let's say I'm not really happy with this second to last sentence here that says, "Still at its core, Globe Bank International remains a community bank, focusing on the specific needs of individuals and organizations in each community in which its branches are located." And I want to come up with some alternate versions of what I've written. So I'll select that text and that gives us our Copilot icon in the margin. We'll click that. (mouse button clicking) And because I have some text selected, as opposed to in the previous chapter, when we were generating content on blank lines, we have the choice here to Write a Prompt, Auto Rewrite, or Visualize as a Table. I'm going to choose Auto Rewrite, and that gives us three options to choose from. We have Globe Bank International remains a community bank, addressing the needs of individuals and organizations in each local area. A slightly longer sentence here. And yet, a third variation. Now if I like any of these, I could simply click Replace, and that replaces the selected text without alternative. Let's undo that. And I'll click the Copilot button and choose to Auto Rewrite again And again, we get three different options. Now, sometimes you'll like one of the options, but not so much that you want to entirely replace your select text. Maybe you like some elements of both what you've written and what Copilot is generated. In those cases, you can click Insert below. So now I have both versions of the sentence, and I could spend some time writing a version that combines them together. Let's just undo that again, and I'll ask for another rewrite. (mouse button clicking) And the rewrite window also has this prompt area. And from here you can specify what you want Copilot to change or keep about the selected text. For example, you might want to specify what tone you want the rewrite to strike. Maybe I want a friendlier tone, so I'll say, keep the tone friendly. So it takes that into account when doing this rewrite. And maybe I like that. But I also want to expand this to emphasize our role in the community. And it's now generated this extra paragraph on the role the bank plays in the community, supporting small businesses and so on. So you have a decent amount of control over how Copilot rewrites your content. And again, if it generates something you like, you can choose to replace the existing version or insert it below and continue revising it.
