In the Format Cells dialog, with "Number" selected the third "negative
numbers" option shows parens (or brackets as they say in England, etc.). If
you do not see a bracketed format there you have to change your negative
number format for CURRENCY (not Numbers) under Windows Control Panel,
Regional Settings to use parens.
