for 5 seconds saying "SEE THIS" and then disappear but i not
want it in like message box. it should come in wordart. Please if

Hi,

I think generally if you want pretty things like Wordart then your better
using something other than Excel but there is a nice way of doing this
described here

It's not wordart but it does have the functionality your want in that it
displays a message and dies after a preset time.

You can easily put WordArt on a userform. On a blank Powerpoint slide, add
the WordArt message formatted as desired. Right-click on it and select 'Save
as picture'. Save the WordArt somewhere as a JPG, BMP, WMF, etc. Then you can
assign it to the Picture property of the userform itself or an image control
on the userform.

Here is another method...

Add the WordArt to a blank worksheet in the workbook. Turn off the gridlines
on the sheet (Tools Options View. Uncheck the Gridlines box, then
click OK.)
Name the sheet MsgSht. Paste the following code in the ThisWorkbook module:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("MsgSht").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheets("MsgSht").Activate
Sheets("MsgSht").ScrollArea = "A1:O31"
Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("0:00:05")
Sheets("MsgSht").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
End Sub

Change Sheet1 to whatever sheet should be displayed after the warning.
Adjust the ScrollArea setting, if necessary.

Here is a link to a sample file I created:
