I recently took old reliable off line- an xp machine and transferred over to a Toshiba laptop windows 7- put a copy of office 2013 on it and one cloud.... I'm not liking it 🙁 even if I'm not logged into one drive or office, the response time in entering data into cells in a excel sheet is ridiculous. What is it really doing with the cache, etc? I want to move along and it's just stuck there till it finally fills in what I type. sometimes it doesn't even do that.
Is it just my slow internet connection? have I been hacked and my machine is bogged down from that? ideas? thanks:-/
I think you're "enjoying" cell animation. I installed Office 2013 after finally accepting the inevitability of the ribbon in 2010. Sluggishness in data entry and moving around noticed immediately and I'm not working in the cloud. Fortunately I used the right combination of search words and found the solution. Turning off cell animation makes 2013 almost right. There are some other tweaks too.
I used the method in this link to turn animation off:

If you search on cell animation Excel 2013 other methods are apparently possible but you have edit the registry.
I've found Word 2013 slow to open documents so have returned to Word 2010. Fortunately the install of Office 2013 didn't wipe out 2010.
The following link takes you to some more hints in tweaking Office 2013
