Default Brackets on one PC but not another in Excel 2003?

Make sure you are using the same printer with the same settings.

I have a spreadsheet that contains some footnotes. The footnotes are
bracketed. i.e (1)(4). We have a LAN. When one PC opens the file the
brackets are visible and appear on the printed hardcopy. When any other PC
opens the same file there are no brackets nor are they there when it is
printed. The settings (at least the basic ones) seem to be the same on both
PCs as is the excel version. We tried changing the cell formatting to text
(it was a custom format before) on the PC where the brackets appeared and
re-saving it. However when we opened the resaved file on any other PC the
brackets were still not appearing. All other formatting appears to be
identical? Does anybody know why the brackets would be surpressed on the
other PCs?? Thanks
