Default Accounting Format Parentheses

I have Excel 2002 (XP) and want to display negative numbers in parentheses in
ACCOUNTING FORMAT instead of with a minus sign. I know this is possible as a
standard feature (I have done it before on a previous machine) and I think
there was a KB patch for this flaw. Anyone know of where I might find the
fix?

Look in Tools, cells, Number instead of Accounting.
