Create with Microsoft Copilot

Open Microsoft Word and launch the Copilot drafting feature. Copilot is found on the top ribbon, the start menu, and with the keyboard shortcut (Alt + i).

Input detailed instructions, including (if desired) the addition of:

• Tables
• Bulleted and numbered lists
• Hyperlinks
• Structured headings (H1, H2, H3)
• Placeholder spaces for images

Don’t forget to specify the desired length or word count.

Manually Review and:

• Insert appropriate images with alt text and hyperlinks.
• Confirm all headings follow a consistent structure.
• Eliminate any unwanted formatting issues.

Manual intervention ensures the document not only meets accessibility standards but also maintains a polished, professional appearance.
