Default Changing positive values to negative

Im using excel 2007with windows xp pro. I use excel very infreuently and
not since upgrading to 2007.
I have a long column of dollar values that I need to change from positive to
negative values such as:
$123.45
($123.45)
I can accomplish the feat manually over many hours by F2.HOME- ENTER
DOWN ARROW and repeat and repeat and repeat. Or I can use a macro. But
using a macro has changed from years ago. When I tried the macro inserted a
specific value of cell rather than the value of the selected cell. So that
didnt work. What can make this conversion easier?
