Default Custom format

I need a custom format that puts a number in parentheses whether it is
positive or not. I cannot treat the cell as a text cell and just enter the
parentheses manually, because I need to use the number from this cell in a
computation. It appears that all of the custom formats provided (listed under
the "Number" tab of the "Format Cells" dialog box) only apply parentheses if
the number is negative. Any ideas?
