How to Auto convert the figure -9999.99 to (9999.99)?

 

[Jezebel]

I assume you mean search for any negative number and replace the negative
with parantheses. With Use wildcards checked, search
for: -([0-9]{1,}.[0-9]{1,2}) and replace with: (\1)

This assumes that the numbers you want have at least one digit before the
decimal and one or two digits after.

Dear Jezebel,

If I go to Tool--> AutoCorrect, Then put in -([0-9]{1,}.[0-9]{1,2}) in REPLACE and
(\1) in WITH. Then when I type in -599.77 and press enter, will it auto change to (599.77)?
I tried before , but not work...

I was talking about using Find and Replace. I doubt there's an autocorrect
method for this.
