MS Office Jumping Shaking jogging while scrolling or changing panes on external monitor

Hello Everyone,

Not only do I experience the bouncing/shaking, but now something new.

When I scroll down to the last 2 or 3 pages of my document, the entire document scrolls off the screen automatically and can not be scrolled back into place. I have to go back to an earlier page, click onto this page, and then attempt to scroll back to the end of the document.

Working on HP ProBook with an extended monitor configuration. The symptoms occur on both the laptop and external monitor.  W10, MS2016.

Reading through most of these replies, I've seen a couple of answers. one is Control panel > System and security > System > Advanced system settings (in upper-left side) > Advanced tab > Settings in Performance box > Visual effects:

Another answer was to go into safe mode ... um, that is simply too much work.

In my scenario, I have three monitors (Desktop, not laptop). The Primary monitor is set to 4k, and the other two are at their native 1900x1080. The point here is that the primary monitor is set to a higher resolution different than the other two. 

Going back to the issue. Do you experience this on any monitor other than the primary monitor? Are they of the same resolution? 

My work around is, because I cannot do the above steps due to a security lockout by my security team, to open up the Word document on a monitor that is not the primary monitor. At which point, I do not get the "jiggly" document when scrolling. I can then move the document between all screens and it scrolls just fine. If I open up Word on the primary monitor and move the document on a secondary one, then I do get the "jiggly" screen. 

This also works on my Laptop with two external monitor scenarios. 

Like everyone else, this recently started happening after the most recent update. I believe it might have something to do with the graphics performance and switching display modes, especially if you are in enhanced display mode where dynamic sizing of objects on a higher resolution display, say 4k, appears as normal. When moving to the smaller display, Windows, Word in this case, is attempting to dynamically size the display to match the new, different monitor settings. 

I'm sure this is also reflective of the different monitor types and drivers. 

Perhaps someone can confirm this?

I have the same issue, which seems to happen after switching from external monitor to laptop only. Closing all opened Word documents and then reopening Word and selecting Blank document seems to reset/fix the issue. After this you can open your other documents and the shaking is gone.

"I simply selected and applied the setting 'Adjust for Best Performance". It cleared all setting boxes, including the 'animation' box, and the outlook windows now move by the mouse cursor in a stable manner."

Had the same issue where my word document would shake when I was on an external monitor through a laptop expansion dock (HP Thunderbolt), after searching around and finding this fix for turning off animated controls the problem is fixed.

Control panel > System and security > System > Advanced system settings (in upper-left side) > Advanced tab > Settings in Performance box > Visual effects:

Here please disable Animate controls and elements inside windows

I found this guide on reddit that solved the problem for me - https://www.reddit.com/r/Office365/comments/6yvvp3/ms_word_document_bouncingshaking_when_typing_or/  

For the lazy:

Control panel > System and security > System > Advanced system settings (in upper-left side) > Advanced tab > Settings in Performance box > Visual effects: Here disable Animate controls and elements inside windows (I disabled all three check boxes with the word Animate).
