Office 2013 for Windows 7 appears extremely blurry

I recently downloaded and installed Microsoft Office 2013 as part of a student bundle at my university. To do this, I had to uninstall my previous Microsoft Office 2010.  However, all of the new Office programs are extremely blurry. If I run my mouse over certain buttons, they may unblur for a second or two, but then distort again. All of the programs seem to function fine, but are very unusable in the sense that I can't see what I'm typing or clicking at all. This didn't effect my previous Office suite, nor the Wordpad that came with my laptop.

Below is a screenshot of Word. I had copied some filler bio text from a wiki-how site.

I put this topic as Microsoft Office Word, but the same effect is happening in all the office programs.

Answer

Go to File > Options > Advanced and check the box for "Disable hardware graphics acceleration”
