Option 1: Try to disable the Typing Animation Feature in Office.
- Open the Registry Editor, press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type “regedit” (without the quotes) in the Open edit box and click OK.
- Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common - If there is no Graphics key under the Common key, right-click on the Common key and select New | Key from the popup menu.
- A new key is added to the bottom of the list under the Common key and the name is highlighted. Type Graphics for the name of the key.
- Right-click in an empty area on the right side of the editor and select New DWORD (32-bit) Value from the popup menu.
- Name that new value DisableAnimation, as shown below, and double-click on the new value.
- Change the number in the Value data edit box to “1” and click OK.
- To turn the typing animation back on, go back into the Registry Editor, and either delete the DisableAnimation value and the Graphics key or change the Value data for the DisableAnimation value to “0.”
Please Note: Disabling the typing animation feature in Office 2013 turns it off for all Office programs. You cannot leave the feature on for certain programs.
