Currently, Excel displays negative numbers with hyphens as the default. I want them to be displayed in parantheses.

I know that I can do a custom format and type in #,##0;(#,##0);0 and it will work fine, but is there a way of making this the default?

When I go into Region and Language in the Control Panel, I have selected the negative numbers to be shown in round brackets - but the default is still showing negative numbers with a hyphen.

Is there a way of changing the default?
