How do you convert this into a human-readable format and bring it into Word?
The Christkind copied the content into Word and used a prompt to rewrite the document into a fluent, readable text.
Rewrite this document into a fluent, readable text as a report to a CEO with a summary.

The Christkind was pleased with the result. With a few adjustments, the document was completed.
Remark
With Copilot, writing becomes much easier and more precise. It's the perfect tool for me.
