Est-il possible de désactiver smooth movement of the cursor in Office 2013/windows 10?
Est-il possible de désactiver smooth movement of the cursor in Office 2013/windows 10?
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 ([here](http://lifehacker.com/turn-off-office-2013s-distracting-typing-animation-498701966), for one) and goes like this:
- In regedit, naviguez vers `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common`
- If there's no `Graphics` key under that `Common` key, faites un clic droit sur the Common key et sélectionnez New > Key. Type in `Graphics` for the key name.
- With the `Graphics` key selected, faites un clic droit sur the right side of the editor and create a new DWORD value. Name it `DisableAnimation`.
- Finally, double-cliquez sur the `DisableAnimation` value and change the value to `1`. Hit OK and exit the editor, then restart Windows for it to take effect.
Notez que for Office 2016, the DWORD key is under `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Graphics` and it should be called `DisableAnimations` (plural).
The other way is through the System Performance Settings.
- Open "System" (by typing Win+Pause)
- Cliquez sur le "Advanced system settings" in the top left.
- 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".
- 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.
Modification : The latter method may look very different on Windows 10, sorry I missed that part.
