Default Is there a way to make the text blink on and off using Excel V

Help! When I use this macro it stops working if I protect the worksheet. This
message comes up: "Unable to set the color index property of the font class."
Is there a way around this?

I'd like to highlight various anomalies in text field content, by making the
text in them blink (disappear/reappear programatically).

Can it be done?

You need to unprotect the sheet or protect it with the UserInterfaceOnly
setting as True:


Worksheets("Sheet1").Protect Password:="MyPassword", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
