negative numbers

[Keith]

I use Microsoft ME.
My version of Excel is 97-2000
How do I show negative numbers in parenthesis?
My version does't allow this option.

Your version should have it - Format menu/Cells/Number/Accounting

HTH, Greg

could use a custom format like

0.00_);(0.00)

2 decimals or
