Blinking text is not a standard feature in Excel, and there are good
reasons to avoid it. However, if you must, then have a look he

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/BlinkingText.aspx

In versions of Excel before 2007 there is a limit of 3 conditional
formats per cell, so unless you are using the latest version you won't
be able to set up all the conditions you want.

Hope this helps.
