Hi all,
My work has finally given us Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 Professional Plus. But new Excel was giving me severe motion sickness because I'm always Ctrl-arrowing to navigate around a worksheet.
I found several webpages that described a registration edit that disables the animations (How To Code: Office 2013: Disable transition and cursor animations) which has improved the experience considerably. But although I want to prevent the cell selector navigation animations, I actually like the smooth, flowing transitions that charts display when their source data is changed.
I know this isn't strictly an Excel question, but does anyone know of a way to toggle the registration edit described at that link on and off? Either a desktop shortcut, or - to make this post more Excel centric - a VBA solution that'd interact with the registry and could be activated from a macro-assigned QAT button? That way I could perhaps switch between "developer" and "presentation" modes..?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: You know what - I just re-read the webpage I found the edit on, and it says you have to reboot for the change to take effect, so a VBA solution here almost certainly couldn't work.
