In Numbers, how do I get negative entries to display as minus sign rather than parentheses?

Seems like a simple matter, but I can't find any such control.

The joker here is that for this to work (in the Inspector), a checkbox not showing on the screenshot here called "Accounting Style" must be unchecked.  Unchecking this also eliminates the many spaces between the $ and the digits.
That's right, it didn't occur to me that you may have checked that option for aligned dollar signs.

    It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
    You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

    How can I get Elements 11 to open up in Organizer rather than in Editor?

    Well, you can go to Window>Welcome and make your change there, but the welcome screen leaves a process always running, so you would do better to go into the Program Files or Program Files (x86) in windows or the applications folder on a mac and find the actual .exe/application for the organizer and make a desktop shortcut/dock icon and use that in the future to launch the organizer, avoiding the welcome screen entirely.

  • I attach a file in mail and the whole thing shows there ie. attach a PDF and the whole pdf content is displayed in the mail.  Anyone know how I just get the icon toi appear as the attachment rather than the whole file?  This only happens with pdf and jpg

    Hi Folks,
    When I attach a jpg or pdf to a mail it shows as the whole document "pasted" into the mail.  Anyone know how I get the file to just show as an icon and not as a mass of pasted in docs?
    Thanks,
    Pedro

    For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
    For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader.  To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

  • How can I get Safari 7 to open to my homepage rather than Top Sites?

    Not sure why I would want to open to Top Sites all the time...  I'd like my homepage back but I can't figure out how to get Safari 7 to open to my homepage now.

    Visit the Apple site you want to be set as Homepage.
    Safari > Preferences > General > Homepage:
    Apple site should show up and highlighted.
    Click the "Set to Current Page" button at the bottom.
    Select "New windows open with "Homepage" and
                "New tabs open with "Homepage".
    Launch Safari, if the Homepage is not opening by default, hold shift key down and launch Safari.

  • When searching a PDF, how do I get search results to  appear as yellow highlights rather than a blue box?

    I am using Adobe Reader 11. I am having a problem with searching PDF documents. In the past the search results were highlighted in yellow. Now I occasionally get a large blue box on the left side of the document that covers several lines and it is very difficult to find the word being searched. I am told that this is caused by the program that created the PDF and there is nothing I can do to change process so that all of the search results are shown in yellow highlights. Any suggestions for how to change the search options so that the results are shown in yellow highlights?

    As far as I remember that's how Reader always worked, and it's not related to the way the PDF file was created.
    Are you sure you were using Reader before?

  • How can I get pdf documents to automatically open in Adobe rather than Nitro Pro?

    Hi,
    When I bought my PC it had Nitro Pro installed (a paid for PDF programme, that you get for free for 3 months). The free trial has now ended. However, any pdf document I try to open will automatically try to open in Nitro Pro.
    To solve it, I save it to my PC, then ask it to open in Adobe reader. That works, but seems a lot of work. Surely it must be possible to somehow let the pdf doc know that it should open in Acrobat.
    Any suggestions?

    Highlight the PDF, right click and choose "Open with", click on "Choose default program", select Adobe REader then select "Always use the selected program to open this type of file".

  • In the new Numbers, How can I get a 2D stacked column chart to display only 1 column?

    In the new Numbers, How can I get a 2D stacked column chart to display only 1 column?

    This is one of those things that I find really strange about Numbers 3. The control for what you want to do is not where anyone would expect to find it.
    Select the Chart
    Click on Edit Data References
    Look at the bottom left corner of the Numbers window. It should say "Plot Columns as Series" or "Plot Rows as Series"
    Click on it and change it to the other

    Lost all my phone numbers in my iphone 4 and my iclod account was without any numbers. how can i get my contacts back?

    If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup.  This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

  • How do I get iTunes to stop asking me to sign in?

    How do I get iTunes to stop asking me to sign in?  I will never buy from iTunes so there is no point in me signing in.  A year ago I bought a couple of albums off iTunes but I was sorely disappointed that I did not have the hard copy and album art in a physical form.  That made me resolve to only buy music (or any content) in solid form and from the artist themselves if possible.  And this is not to mention the proprietary format of iTunes music which basically makes every purchase a lease and not an ownership.  So with that said, it is very annoying that iTunes on start-up asks me to sign in, not once, but TWICE.  For such a little thing, you would think it would be infuriating.  But alas, I'm very tired of being bullied and that is all it is to me.  ITunes is a marketing BULLY.  I'll stop now before I start in on all the explicatives I can think of for iTunes Store.
    CAN ANYONE HELP?

    Try this...
    Sign into the iTunes store and View account.
    Uncheck Ping (to turn it off).
    Also, iTunes prefs > Store. Uncheck Automatic downloads
    And this is not to mention the proprietary format of iTunes music
    Good thing we don't mention it then because AAC is not proprietary.
    which basically makes every purchase a lease and not an ownership.
    You mean exactly like when you purchase music on a CD (or from any other online store or source)?
    You do own the actual CD, but for the music, all you are purchasing is a license to use it (a lease) in accordance with that license.
