Disabling the new typing animation in Office

2 Comments

One of the new “features” of Office 2013 is a new animation that occurs as you type.  If you are typing quickly, the cursor seems to lag behind; that’s quite disconcerting.

The good news is that you can disable it; the bad news is that you have to edit the registry to do so.  Add the following new key to disable the animation:

HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0CommonGraphics
Add new DWORD: "DisableAnimations" = 1

Then you have to reboot (this is Windows, after all).  This new setting disables all animations, but honestly I don’t see much difference.

If you want to want to reverse this change, simply modify the new key and set it to zero.
