Remove flashing border when cut/copy

[Webslinger83]

Hi all, I have a colleague who suffers from terrible migraines and they said that when they use the cut/copy function in excel the rotating boarder round the cell makes their migraines worse and wondered if there is anyway to disable the moving border when using this function

I feel your colleagues pain, I suffer from the same thing. The "flashing border when cut/copy" is considered "Marching Ants" in Excel terms, and there is a way to make the Ants stop marching.

If you go to:

File > Options > Accessibility > Provide feedback with animation this will change the "Marching Ants" to "Frozen Ants". This should help your colleague since it doesn't move anymore.
