Excel 2013 is pretty nice. The interface is clean and crisp and Microsoft seem to have gotten rid of most of the bugs that made Excel 2007 such a disaster.
However the “sweeping” animation on the cursor, and the slot machine style animations when numbers update make me want to hurt somebody. If you’re having the same reaction, you can keep your colleagues safe from harm by disabling the animation:
1. Open the control panel and choose “Ease of access”.
2. Select “Optimise visual display”.
3 Then scroll down and tick “Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)”.
There. All unnecessary animation now turned off. Your colleagues are now safe from harm.
