Blinking text in Excel !

[RAFAAJ2000]

Is there a way to borrow the text blinking feature found in MS Word ?

If that is not possible,can we produce a similar text blinking effect in
Excel without having to use an OnTime or a Timer procedures ?

Regards.

No, and (thank goodness) no.

Blinking text is an annoyance that turns most people off. There are a myriad
of other ways to draw attention to information, such as colour, bolding,
etc., enough to not require the annoyance of blinking text.

Oooo ... you're lucky Harlan Grove hasn't seen your reply. He recently went
off his trolly when he saw I'd said the same to another post. Still I expect
the nurse has calmed him down by now and got him back on the medication.

I'll seek that one out Andy :-)

I would have thought that Harlan would have held the same views?

It wasn't the view on blinking text, it was the categorical "No" that he
was objecting to. Telling a falsehood to an OP doesn't sit well...

Hi JE,

Yeah I just looked it up and saw that.

It's been pretty well documented that blinking text and flashing
objects can cause seizures in epileptics and headaches for others. The
rest of us who don't suffer from those problems just find it annoying.

I don't think anyone said he did. The falsehood reference was to a
previous post.

When the result exceeds the ceiling, blinking it will be nice! Good day everyone!
