I am trying to activate Microsoft Copilot in Onenote - The Ribbon Icon is greyed out and...

I have the same problem.

The "add contact" menu item is greyed out.

How do I enable it?

Opening and customizing the ribbon works perfectly and I am able to open the different tabs with the different commands. The only problem is that the lasso tool is now missing, despite being there once. I already searched through the customize tab for
the ribbon to find the lasso command, but it is not listet or at least I don't find it. Even if i did something wrong with editing several tabs in word, the lasso tool should still be listed in the customize window within all commands, but it is not there.
Under what specific command name is the lasso tool normally listed?

Press [Ctrl] + [F1] again to restore the Ribbon. Click once on the Ribbon Display Options button in the upper‑right corner of the program window (next to the Windows management buttons). Choose from options to Auto-hide Ribbon, Show Tabs, Show Tabs and Commands.

Hello Elise,
<br />I use English language now - hope this yours as well.
<br />actually I seldom get a satisfactory reply from ms support pages. in most cases they do not understand the question.
<br />my "problem" is that I want use and apply simple single toolbars (no ribbons) as in all previous versions since 1993 and my present office2011 for mac,
<br />and which also work for each and every open workbook.
<br />unfortunately i can no longer use this version when I update my os to 'big sur' or buy a new macbook.
<br />someone from microsoft (in a chat on Oct 01) confirmed to me that I can now create my own toolbars, but i can only find the possibility to set up user defined ribbons/groups, which i cannot set up/design as I want them (only icons/no text and my own icons for my macros). moreover I can only open one ribbon at a time instead of having all commands available at the same time. finally ribbons are attached to every workbook instead of the application, and use a large area of the screen.
<br />In other words ribbons are absolutely useless (or just scrap)
<br />best regards
<br />Georg
