I had the same typing performance issue when using the preview version of Office 2013 that shipped with my Surface RT, updated to the RTM version today, and the typing performance is fine now. The characters even appear with a quick reveal-from-left-to-right animation now, that keeps up with my fastest typing speed.
- chj 14y agoGood to know the problem is gone. How does the animation feel like after an hour of use?
- joenathan 14y agoIt's the same thing on the x86 version, I found it strange at first, after a couple of days its just faded into the background and I don't notice it. Video of the effect here http://youtu.be/ddwo-AN2SmU http://youtu.be/ddwo-AN2SmU
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoI find it still messes up my rhythm a bit; the distraction might be slowing my typing speed down during a burst. Is there an HCI principle going on in this feature or is it just eye candy?
- joenathan 14y agoFrom my searching I can't find any practical reasons for it other than eye candy. It seems the only way to disable it is via a regedit http://www.winsupersite.com/article/office-2013-beta2/office-2013-tip-disable-animations-143779 http://www.winsupersite.com/article/office-2013-beta2/office...
- Encosia 14y agoI haven't typed in Word on the Surface for a solid hour yet, but it hasn't bothered me in the x86 version on my desktop over the month or two I've been using 2013 there. Like joenathan said, it completely blends into the background pretty quickly.
