Excel 2013 cascading shortcut animations (win 8.1)

[Blackban88s]

Does anyone know how to turn this off? I've tried disabling animations for win 8.1 through the control panel and graphics acceleration in Excel advanced options--neither are helping. The cascade of shortcut key leads is really screwing with my mind--it's like being punished for using keyboard shortcuts. I'd really like to hear from someone whose actually experienced/figured this out already but any help is much appreciated.

Can you describe what you mean by "cascading shortcut animations" (what is it and what do you do to make it appear)?

The shortcut keystrokes on each ribbon light up with a hint that indicates the next key to press so for ex: alt>H>O>I is the sequence to autofit column widths but typing this sequence will setoff a cascade of all the adjacent keystoke hints which the graphic card presents one after the other instead of all at once. The fireworks/light-show is debilitating to speed. Am I making any sense?

Are your referring to the drop-down menu?

With any cell selected, toggle the Alt key off and on. You'll see that just below each tab name a single letter will pop-up (a hint) representing the next key to press ex: pressing Alt once bring up the following letters above these tabs ex: FILE >"F", HOME >"H", INSERT >"N", etc. Pressing the "H" button here will then present a new set of keystroke hints for items on the Home ribbon.
