[Guest]

I have 2003 edition of office and using Excel. I want to fomat the cells as
($1.00) but I only have the option of -$1.00 how do I add a format to
currency to read this way?

Old Guy,

Format / Cells / Currency

There should be a list that has differnt formats for neg. numbers, including
your ($1.00).


Otherwise, Custom format using:
$#,##0.00_);($#,##0.00)
