Default create text effects in excel

MS Word allows you to go to FONT, TEST EFFECTS and make the text "blink" on
and off. Can you do the same in MS Excel?

Default create text effects in excel

This extremely annoying feature is fortunately not available in Excel
without employing VBA code which most people are not familiar with.

If you truly desire to have blinking text see Chip Pearson's site.

Note the caveats in the Summary section.
