Default Excel not using regional settings

Hi - I have set my regional settings to use brackets (23) for negative
numbers. I've set both the number and currency formats to use brackets for
negative number. WHen starting Excel, using a new blank workbook, negative
numbers entered into a cell do NOT show with brackets? My language is set to
English (US) and I've adjusted the formats to use brackets for negative
numbers and I've copied to reservered accounts.
I also want the date to default to the short date format I've set for the
language but it too is not working. Excel will not use the default formats
I've set? How do you fix?
