I know that text effects can be used in Word documents. For example, you can
get any text to blink on and off. I want to know if you can do the same
thing in an Excel spreadsheet.

Excel does not have the word processing capabilities of Word.

There are many text effect functions however by using the Drawing Toolbar to
give effects on a range of cells.

3-d, shadow effect to name two.

Blinking text is not possible without VBA code and IMO is not something I would
like to have facing me when I opened a workbook.

For blinking text code see Chip Pearson's site.
