Est-il possible de désactiver smooth movement of the cursor in Office 2013/windows 10?

ayi

In office 2013 under windows 10, the text cursor appears to glide across the page smoothly, instead of advancing a character width at a time when I’m typing. I actually find this rather disconcerting, and watching it gives me something akin to motion sickness and screws up my typing big-time. Existe-t-il un moyen de disable this feature?

Well, yes. There are two ways of doing this.
One is described in many places (<a href="http://lifehacker.com/turn-off-office-2013s-distracting-typing-animation-498701966">here</a>, for one) and goes like this:
<ul>
<li>
In regedit, naviguez vers <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common</code>
</li>
<li>
If there’s no <code>Graphics</code> key under that <code>Common</code> key, faites un clic droit sur the Common key et sélectionnez New > Key. Type in <code>Graphics</code> for the key name.
</li>
<li>
With the <code>Graphics</code> key selected, faites un clic droit sur the right side of the editor and create a new DWORD value. Name it <code>DisableAnimation</code>.
</li>
<li>
Finally, double-cliquez sur the <code>DisableAnimation</code> value and change the value to <code>1</code>. Hit OK and exit the editor, then restart Windows for it to take effect.
</li>
</ul>
Notez que for Office 2016, the DWORD key is under <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Graphics</code> and it should be called <code>DisableAnimations</code> (plural).
The other way is through the System Performance Settings.
<ul>
<li>
Open “System” (by typing Win+Pause)
</li>
<li>
Cliquez sur le “Advanced system settings” in the top left.
</li>
<li>
In the “System Properties” window (don’t you just love consistency?), allez dans the “Advanced” tab and cliquez sur le “Settings” button in the first section, “Performance”.
</li>
<li>
In the “Performance Options” window, on the “Visual Effects” tab, deselect the first option, “Animate controls and elements inside windows”. You may want to disable a bunch of other useless animations here, too, but don’t disable the “Smooth edges of screen fonts”. Curiously, you don’t have to restart Windows if you do it this way.
</li>
</ul>
Modification : The latter method may look very different on Windows 10, sorry I missed that part.
