How to Auto convert the figure -9999.99 to (9999.99)?

I assume you mean search for any negative number and replace the negative
with parantheses. With Use wildcards checked, search
for: -([0-9]{1,}.[0-9]{1,2}) and replace with: (\1)

This assumes that the numbers you want have at least one digit before the
decimal and one or two digits after.

Dear Jezebel,

If I go to Tool--> AutoCorrect, Then put in -([0-9]{1,}.[0-9]{1,2}) in REPLACE and
(\1) in WITH. Then when I type in -599.77 and press enter, will it auto change to (599.77)?
I tried before , but not work...

From Ong.

I was talking about using Find and Replace. I doubt there's an autocorrect
method for this.

Is there any method to auto change the figure -9999.99 to (9999.99) when we type?

Why are you deliberately typing it the wrong way and then trying to make
Word fix it for you? Just type it the way you want it to appear.
