I'm an experienced Microsoft Excel user and I've always loved the software in the past, when I used Excel 2007. One of the best things I liked about Excel 2007 was how I could do everything on the keyboard at a much higher speed than I could with the mouse.
However now in my new office I am using Excel 365, and it is extremely slow when I do keyboard shortcuts. For example, Paste Values is ALT-H-V-V, which executes instantly as fast as I can type it (a split second) in Excel 2007, but in Excel 365 it takes about 3-5 seconds to slowly display all the "letters" over the top tab and ribbon. This slows me down by multiples, and in this way Excel 365 was a severe downgrade for me.
Since I cannot exchange my 365 for 2007, I would like to ask for help on how to resolve this issue. I've tried all the things other forums and posts have recommended - disabling Tool Tips, changing the "hardware graphics accelerator option" under File - Options - Advanced, disabling the animations and even something I had to do on the Control Panel. Nothing works.
Appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Thank you for the reply.
Yes - the shortcuts which get slow are the ALT- shortcuts, which go through the tabs and ribbons at the top of the window. How do I get rid of the rendering? It seems to me that the problem is because Excel 365 is doing some extra (unnecessary) things when I use keyboard shortcuts. I want to disable those unnecessary things that it's doing. – mathprogrammer – 2014-10-01T08:59:31.663
