I continue to explore using MS-Excel on my Mac. I’m starting to get a handle on 
it, but there’s a major problem. Negative numbers.
There are places where they appear and I need to know when they do. As I scroll 
across and vertically through various amounts of US$, I am accustomed to being 
able to hear when there are parenthesis around a negative value. So far, even 
with VO set to announce all punctuation, these      never speak. So all my 
amounts sound like they are positive numbers.
Even changing the negative value format to be a -$ instead of parentheses VO 
still will not announce the minus sign.
What do I need to change either in Excel or in VO to make this work? It’s a 
game-changer.
