HI,
Thanks for your help. I'll try switching punctuation to most. I probably have 
mine set to the default, which I believe is some.
It's odd though as VoiceOver reads negative numbers fine for me if the cell 
isn't formatted as currency. It's also a little poor that VoiceOver doesn't 
recognise a hyphen before a number as a minus sign.
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers,
Nic

Hi Nick and all,
I have punctuation set at “Most” and in Numbers when I have negative dollar 
amounts VO says dash before the dollar amount, as in dash $125.00.  

When I change the verbosity setting to some punctuation, I get no indication 
that the negative sign, or dash, is there.

Hope this helps.
