Disable cursor animation in Office 2013& 2016

The first method is the one seen in the video above. Right-click on Computer and go to Properties. Then select Advanced system settings. Next hit the Settings… button under Performance. On the Performance Options window that pops up, uncheck the box ‘Animate controls and elements inside windows’. Hit ‘Apply’ and test your typing in Word 2013 to see the difference.

The above method affects all applications unfortunately, which may mean it could change the behavior of something else inadvertently. Instead, to stop only the cursor animation in Office 2013, create a DWORD key in the Registry through Regedit at:

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Graphics

Name: DisableAnimations
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1 (hexadecimal)

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Graphics

Name: DisableAnimations
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1 (hexadecimal)
