Excel negative number format options don't include brackets. Why?

I want to change my Excel 2003 negative numbers format to brackets. Help says
the option should be there, but it isn't. How do I get there?

If you want to be able to see those ()'s when you're in the format|number
tab|number category, you could try this:

Windows start button|control panel
regional and language options
regional options tab
click the customize button
currency tab
change the negative currency format to show ()'s.
