How to Disable the Typing Animation Feature in Office 2013

Stefan Mileschin · 6th May 2013, 07:43

Microsoft attempted to make typing appear smoother in Office 2013 by adding a typing animation feature. If you’re a slow typist, you probably won’t notice it. However, if you type upwards of 80+ words per minute, this feature can be distracting and annoying.

The typing animation feature can also be disruptive if you have a slower computer. This feature is on by default, but it can be disabled. To do so, you must edit the registry.

NOTE: Before making changes to the registry, be sure you back it up. We also recommend creating a restore point you can use to restore your system if something goes wrong.

To 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.
