Miss Hybrid has that feature on hers. If it is allowed to mention this, but as an active OCSM around here, I think it is okay to say this

Would like that, too

Not upside, blinking. And, I want to download the font, not go to a website.
 
No such font exists. You're describing a graphical function that has to be triggered by code headers. Tell us what you're hoping to do and we'll tell you how it can be done.

I figured out how to make it blink in Word, but pasting it into Outlook, it doesn't blink, it just highlights the text in black with a white font.

Can´t you just make a gif image with text that blinks? That´s usually how blinking text on websites are made.

I know a couple good sites for doing that, but the problem is, the company I work for blocks about 95% of the internet, so I was hoping I could find an actual font that blinks.

You don´t need access to the internet to make a gif image. You can make it in an image editing program. GIMP for example is a free program that should work just fine.

There is no blinking font. Font files are not structured like GIF files. They do not animate.

GIFs (like my signature) are not that difficult. Personally, I recommend Adobe Fireworks. It costs money, but it can also be procured through other (read illegal) means. I'm unfamiliar with GIMP, but if Patrick is recommending it, it's probably good. He's more graphic savvy than I am...

I'm not interested in GIFs, or images, because a lot of the people I work with have their email security set so high, any emails with images are rejected . My ultimate goal was doing this in Word and then pasting over to Outlook. Because of the security issue and other issues, I can't do attachments either.

I can make text blink in Word with a small macro, but when pasting it to Outlook, it doesn't work. It just highlights the text in black and changes the font color to white.

It can be done with java script, or CSS, though i don't know if Outlook supports anything more than HTML. Last I used it I don't think it did, but that was several years ago. Other than that there was a blink tag for HTML, but pretty sure nothing recognizes that now.

I think animated gifs are the way to go. These days, people get choosier what kind of codes and active elements they allow in, and text scripts will probably roll under the bus along the way
