formating negative numbers
 

How do you format negative numbers to have brackets. I used to have the opion
in "number" in the old version but this has been lost.....

As far as I know, you do this under Windows. Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Regional Options, Numbers, Negative number format

Try changing a windows setting.

Windows start button|settings|control panel|regional settings
(Or regional and language settings in winXP)

Regional Options tab, customize button in winxp

Currency Tab
change the negative currency format to show ()'s.

To have this as an option you need to change this in Regional Settings
in the Control panel. Change your negative number format to include
brackets around the number.
