Is there a way to make my Word Art blink?
I have tried several methods but blink only seems to work with text in the
format of <p><blink>text</blink><p>
Thanks

Don't.
If you must, then create an animated .gif image or flash or silverlight
movie that "blinks" at most twice a second - faster than that could cause a
fit in epilepsy sufferers.
In any case, many users will close the page to avoid the flashing.
Images (and WordArt is an image of sorts) cannot blink using the <blink>
tag.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/vml-graphics/ for reasons why VML
(which includes WordArt) should be avoided in web pages.

First - lose the VML graphics - VML does not display correctly in any
browser except Internet Explorer. Other browsers are used by around 40% or
more of your clients.

Second - see my post about animated gifs.

Third - What table? - What are we looking at in that mess you call code?

Here #1 #2

#1 <blink>text</blink> Is For Netscape and Opera Only !

#2 is JavaScript
============================================
<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

<!-- Begin
function initArray() {
this.length = initArray.arguments.length;
for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
this[i] = initArray.arguments[i];
}
}

var ctext = "Wow! Look at all the pretty colors!";
var x = 0;
var color = new initArray(
"red",
"blue",
"green",
"black"
);
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
document.write('<layer id="c"><center>'+ctext+'</center></layer><br>');
}
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1){
document.write('<div id="c"><center>'+ctext+'</center></div>');
}
function chcolor(){
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
document.c.document.write('<center><font color="'+color[x]);
document.c.document.write('">'+ctext+'</font></center>');
document.c.document.close();
}
else if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1){
document.all.c.style.color = color[x];
}
(x < color.length-1) ? x++ : x = 0;
}
setInterval("chcolor()",1000);
// End -->

UpDate
<blink>text</blink> not in Netscape8 , WebTv, or MSIE
Work good in Opera
and you can make the JavaScript in to a link

<STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: #ff3300"><A
href="http://hot-text.ath.cx"><script language="JavaScript1.2">
///////////////Wow! Look at all the pretty
colors!";/////////////////////////////
// End -->
</script><noscript><blink>Wow! Look at all the pretty
colors -</blink></noscript></A></SPAN></STRONG>

and you can make it two Colors too like this


var color = new initArray(
> "red",

> "blue".


And here 3 more just for OPERA lool
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: #ff3300;"><A
href="http://hot-text.ath.cx"><blink>Wow! Look at all the pretty
colors</blink></A></SPAN></STRONG>
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<A
href="http://hot-text.ath.cx"><blink style="COLOR: #ff3300"><b
style="color: #3333ff; text-decoration: blink;">Wow! Look at all the pretty
colors</blink></A>
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<A
href="http://hot-text.ath.cx"><b style="color: #3333ff; text-decoration:
blink;">Wow! Look at all the pretty </b></A>

I have used UnFreexze in the past, very simple, but functional

Also- Word art is not text, it creates a vector image that only works in IE,
and downgrades to a GIF in other browsers
The flash rates to avoid are between 5 and 30 hertz for the people who have
photosensitive epilepsy
