Default How do I get the parenthesis option in NUMBERS format, Excel 2007.

I want to have negative numbers entered within parentheses in an Excel work
sheet. "Number" format should provide this option, but in my copy, I only
have "red' or a "-" sign. Is there a defect in my copy of Excel 2007, and if
so, how can I repair it? The Help file implies that I should have this
option, either in "Number" or "Accounting" or "Currency" formats. None seem
to provide it. Is there an error I can correct?
Thanks
