How do I stop "Paste with Co-Pilot" without completely turning off co-pilot?

How do I turn off "Paste with Co-Pilot" in Word. I don't want to complete turn off co-pilot, but every time I paste something, instead of using my saved settings it pops up "paste with co-pilot" and pastes it a completely different way than I have saved and than I have been doing already while working in the document.
It's making twice the work and it appears the only solution is to completely turn off copilot?

If that's the solution, then why am i paying for it?

    Hi,

    There is no separate option to disable Paste with Copilot in Word, this is by design behavior.

    If you have any feedback or suggestion about this behavior, you can try to give a feedback to Microsoft about your requirement:
