Negatives

When you are setting up a custom format for a number field object, this property enables you to specify the way you want negative values to appear. Your options are:

Value	Description
Hide Negative Sign	Do not display the negative sign.
-1.23	Prints negative values with a leading minus sign (-100.00, -225.73, -1,000,000).
1.23-	Prints negative values with a trailing minus sign (100.00-, 225.73-, 1,000,000.00-).
(1.23)	Prints negative values in parentheses [ (100.00), (225.73), (1,000,000) ].

Set the Negatives property to fit your needs. The program changes the sample number at the bottom of the dialog box to reflect the property you choose.
