Basically, I am posing the same question as in this question - How do I turn off insertion point animation in Microsoft Office 2016? - but related to the Mac OS X version of office 2016.
The insertion point in Microsoft Office 2016 glides along as you type in a way that becomes very delayed when you type faster than 80 WPM:
This is rather distracting when you're trying to type. Is there a way to turn this animation off on OS X?

To solve the lag issue in both MS Word and Outlook,I weent to System Preferences>keyboard>import sources. On the left was A US Flag and Grammerian, which I had experimented with, but not purchased. I eliminated Grammarian, and voila, the lag time ended in Word and Outlook. I have a Mac laptop and was not having the lag there in these program, but that was because I had not used Grammarian on it.

Do you have any reason to believe that the the questioner is using Grammarian? – Blackwood – 2018-01-07T03:49:58.347
The cursor, you mean? – Raystafarian – 2016-08-20T10:17:40.267
Yes, in essence the delay in the cursor is my issue – Maikel124 – 2016-08-23T19:47:21.250
I'm not expert here, but I'd check your CPU usage when it happens - if it's high then there might be a conflict. Barring that, you could try removing and reinstalling office 2016 - my cursor doesn't lag, but with office 2013 I had to remove and reinstall like twice before it worked as well as I needed. – Raystafarian – 2016-08-24T10:03:08.700
That being said, maybe adjusting the blink rate would help. I've never done that and I'm not vouching for the process on that page - just an idea
– Raystafarian – 2016-08-24T10:07:01.520@Raystafarian Thanks for the suggestions, but this is not helping. I will keep searching for a possible solution. If I find anything, I will post the answer here for others to find. – Maikel124 – 2016-08-26T14:29:40.250
