Get Rid of MS Office 2013 Animations

Some people like it, but I don't. MS Office 2013 introduces fluid animations to various actions. For example, in Excel, when you move from one cell to another the highlight box doesn't jump, but slides to the next box.

To get rid of all of these animations:

1. Right click on My Computer icon on the Desktop and choose Properties option OR just hit Win+Pause
2. In the System window click the Advanced system settings link in the left pane
3. Click Continue button if prompted by UAC
4. Now click Settings button under Performance section
5. Select the Custom and un-check the option Animate controls and elements inside windows to disable animations
6. Click OK button
7. Click OK button in the System Properties window
