Default French numeric formats

I am having problems formatting french NEGATIVE numbers.
Specifically, our client requires negative numbers to be represented as (n
nnn), as opposed to -n nnn.
I have changed the language in my control panel, and Excel is accepting the
space seperator, but is not accepting the brackets as an available option,
even though I have enabled this in the regional setting (customize)
Oddly enough, numbers in the thousands are properly displayed, but numbers
less than 1000 are displayed as -nnn

Any suggestions?
