Remove Ad for Copilot Pro from Word iPad toolbar

Recently this icon appeared on my toolbar in Word 365 on iPad. It’s an ad for purchasing Copilot Pro, and it is in the first position on the top-right toolbar. Not only that but it obscures the center toolbar, and I can find no setting or method to get rid of it.

The toolbar is not the place for ads on a paid product--especially not ones that cover up the actual software functions--and I have no interest in Copilot Pro. There needs to be a setting to remove this ad.

    You can tap Word Toolbar ... → select Customize Toolbar → uncheck Copilot related options.
    You can also switch to Focus Mode View → Focus Mode to minimize interface distractions.

      Thanks, but this is on iPad. There is no option to customize the toolbar on iPad. 

      In any case, I long ago downgraded to the 365 Classic subscription, so having to deal with the annoyance of intrusive Copilot dreck is for now a thing of the past.
