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.

If you're using shortcuts that visually go through the ribbon, turn off animations for all of office 2013 -
