Parentheses Not Displayed in Number and Currency Format

I hope someone in Microsoft suport read this:

I hope you will make an update to article No. 240829: I had the problem
reffered in this article with Windows XP and Excel 2002 spanish version. I
followed resolution steps (ignoring that article says that problem was fixed
in excel 2002) and it works!!! now parentheses are displayed in number and
currency formats. I don't know if problem was fixed only in excel 2002
english version, but for sure it wasn't fixed in excel 2002 spanish version.
