Under - format - cells - number - negative numbers I do not have the option
to choose 'brackets'

Hi

Maybe you need to go to Control PanelRegional
SettingsCustomiseNegative number format.
On my machine I get the option for brackets even when this is set
to -1.1, but maybe for you, you need to set negative format to (1.1)

Hi also.

When in Regional Settings, change the setting under "Currency" tab rather than
the "Number" tab.

Hi Gord

I think you had pointed this out to me once before. Sorry, the brain is
getting"addled" today, and I totally forgot.
Thanks for the memory jog.
