Microsoft 365 Copilot is your AI assistant. Built into apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote, Copilot can help you:
2+
3+
- Draft and rewrite text
4+
- Summarize emails, documents, and data
5+
- Generate charts, tables, or slides
6+
- Refine content tone and style
7+
8+
Surface devices can enhance this experience with flexible input methods: Pen, touch, voice dictation, and high-resolution displays. These capabilities can help you interact naturally with Copilot in ways that suit your workflow.
9+
10+
### How they complement each other
11+
12+
Surface features can help you use Copilot more intuitively:
13+
14+
- Surface Slim Pen 2: Handwrite notes or annotate slides directly; Copilot can help interpret and transform them into polished content.
15+
- PixelSense touchscreen: Can help you highlight, rearrange, or select content while using Copilot.
16+
- Studio Microphone: Dictate content hands-free or give Copilot voice commands. Voice Clarity technology can help make your voice more easily heard.
17+
- PixelSense display: Can help you compare drafts, slides, or notes side by side.
18+
19+
> [!TIP]
20+
> On your Surface device, you can press Win + H to start dictation. Your spoken words are converted into text in apps like Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, or directly into Copilot’s prompt box.
21+
22+
![A photograph of a business professional using the Surface Slim Pen 2 on a Surface device at a desk.](../media/write.jpg)
23+
24+
And Copilot can help enhance each Microsoft 365 app:
25+
26+
- PowerPoint: Generate slides from written prompts, restructure content, and refine designs.
27+
- Word: Draft documents, summarize, and polish text.
28+
- Excel: Analyze data, extract insights, and generate charts.
29+
- OneNote: Organize notes, create project outlines, and collaborate with others.
30+
31+
***Reflection:** Think about tasks where typing slows you down. How might using Surface Slim Pen 2 and voice input with the Studio Microphone help?*

You have an upcoming leadership meeting, and you need to create a professional presentation quickly. Typing is slowing you down, so you want to use your Surface Slim Pen 2 and Studio Microphone to dictate ideas and annotate content while using Copilot to help you refine slides.
2+
3+
### Step 1: Open PowerPoint and prepare Copilot
4+
5+
1. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 account on your Surface.
6+
2. Open PowerPoint and create a new presentation.
7+
3. Launch Copilot:
8+
- Home Ribbon → Copilot sidebar
9+
10+
![A photograph of a business professional using the Surface Slim Pen 2 on a Surface device while sitting on a couch.](../media/couch.jpg)
11+
12+
### Step 2: Dictate or write your main points
13+
14+
1. Use the Studio Microphone to dictate your slide content.
15+
2. For ideas you want to refine or organize visually, write key points with the Surface Slim Pen 2 on the first slide.
16+
17+
### Step 3: Use Copilot to generate slides
18+
19+
1. Prompt Copilot with natural language:
20+
*"Create a five-slide presentation for our leadership meeting. Include objectives, key updates, and next steps."*
21+
2. Copilot can help generate slides based on your prompts.
22+
23+
### Step 4: Annotate and refine slides with Surface Slim Pen 2
24+
25+
1. Use the Pen to highlight text or sections.
26+
2. Ask Copilot to rewrite highlighted content for clarity, tone, or conciseness.
27+
3. Repeat until slides match your intended message.
28+
29+
### Step 5: Use touch to rearrange content
30+
31+
- Drag slides or text boxes with your finger or Surface Slim Pen 2 to adjust flow.
32+
- Highlight sections to have Copilot summarize or create bullet points.
33+
34+
### Step 6: Add finishing touches
35+
36+
1. Use voice commands for quick adjustments:
37+
*"Change the title font to bold and larger size,"* or
38+
*“Summarize slide 3 in a single bullet point.”*
39+
2. Review slides, taking advantage of the high-resolution display to get a clear idea of how they'll present.
40+
41+
***Reflection:** Which combination of Surface Slim Pen 2 and Studio Microphone felt most natural for your workflow? How did completing a presentation this way compare to typing everything?*
