Default Changing 1234.00- to -1234.00 automatically

Everyday I have to copy and paste data from a program to an excel
spreadsheet. Positive numbers come in fine, negative numbers don't. They
align to the left of the cell with the negative sign to the right of the
numbers. Currently I: F2, backspace, home, put in the - sign and enter to
the next cell where I repeat this approximately 80 times.
I have tried setting up a macro, a scenerio, and a what if function, but
with no luck on any of them. The macro was my best guess, but it saves the
number along with the steps, so everyday the numbers revert back to the ones
saved in the macro not what they should be.
Does anyone have a solution for quickly changing the format of these numbers
after they are pasted in?

Thank you, Lisa
