Summary
A user reports that the Office app on their phone has been replaced by Copilot365, which now attempts to provide AI summaries of Word and Excel documents instead of opening them directly. The user is frustrated because they simply want to open their files, especially those with passwords that prevent AI summarization. The post is a help request from a Reddit user experiencing this software change issue.
