Default Blinking Cell

How can I get a cell to blink or flash when a number is entered in that cell.

Not possible. If you want to mistreat yourself, what is wrong with too small
shoes ?

No built in support for it. You can use a macro to loop and periodically
update the cell with attributes that make it appear to blink.

Hello,

You can do it using a timer that will execute a white and red backcolor
of a cell. But that will consume a lot of resources.

If you want the timer code, I will post here.

Hey I like that last paragraph on Chip's page, found
http://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?...=Content&ID=12

(k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text, objects, or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater than 2 Hz
and lower than 55 Hz.
