Is it possible for the contents of a cell to flash off and on as an attention
grabber.

Thanks,

Please note Chip's disclaimer in his introduction. Most people consider
flashing text a distraction rather than an attention grabber.

Try a different color font, different cell background, bold face,
underlining, larger font size, comment box.

I agree with all of that, plus there's the Section 508 issue of blinking at
specific rates potentially triggering a siezure in some people.

Yes, and that's mentioned at the bottom of Chip's page.
