If you just want that format (with the ()'s) to show up in the samples in
format|Cells|Number tab...

Excel picks this up from a windows setting:

Windows start button|control panel
regional and language options
regional options tab
click the customize button
currency tab
change the negative currency format to show ()'s.

Hello,

I'm hoping this should be easily fixed? Basically I just need to know how
(if?) you can get negative numbers to appear in brackets, rather than having
a minus '-' sign in front of the figure.

Thanks
