<Format <Cells <Number tab,
And click on "Number' in the left window,
And on the right side you'll see a choice of 4 or 5 negative formats,
And also you can click on "1000" separators.

Hi,

Select the cells -- "Format" -- "Cells" -- click on "Number" Tab, select
"Number", check "Use 1000 separator", choose an appropriate format for
"Negative Numbers" -- "OK"

Regards,
