Excel 2007 text flash (or blink)
This might have been asked before but if so I'm not finding it when I
use a google groups search, mainly because of either none or too many answers returned depending on which keywords I use. Is it possible to make the text and/or the background in any individual cells to flash or blink ? In detail what I need to do is have a cell with a solid black background, text which is yellow, but blinking at a slow cadence, 1 sec on 1 sec off in such a way that it looks as if the text in the cell is flashing between off and on like a flashing light. -- Nick |

hi
also have a look here... http://www.section508.gov/IRSCourse/mod02/021401--.html blinking text is not only annoying but can be dangerous.

Some railway signals flash in real time and no-one has a problem with that. In fact, the opposite, in some cases they stand out to reduce risk. I need to replicate the cadence in an XLSX file , and for all sorts of obscure reasons its hard to change the file format t something else. -- Nick |

Ta muchly I'll see if I can make this work I agree with the comments about flashing text, normally I'd never do it.. But like I said, there is a special reason here, simulating a flashing lamp signal while doing something this is more or limited to have to use excel. -- Nick |
