Hello,

I use Office 2002 with Windows 2000 and I would like to use the format
(500.00) when it is negative instead of the minus sign when writing numbers
I do not have that option in the format cell, how come?
My friend is using the same Office 2002 with Windows 2000 and she does have
the brakets in her format.
We both have the same Service Pack for Office and Windows.

Thank you,

Chris
 
Hi
she can simply enter the same format as custom format. she probably has
different regional settings
 
Hello,

Actually, we did check that and we do have the same regional settings,
the same keyboard settings.
Everything is the same, except the Office...

Thank you

Chris
 
I'd double check.

Windows Start button|settings|control panel|Regional Settings
Currency Tab|Negative Number Format

(that was the path I used in Win98.)
