Hi There,
This is exactly what I first tried, but I don't like the solution, because
it changes it everywhere. If it didn't, I could live with it.
I also notice that when you're in that dialogue, and you arrow down to left
parentheses, and then tab across, there is an advanced button. When you
click it, it looks like it's talking about how to read that symbol, and I
think the eighth option down says something like mathematical negation. No
matter what I do, though, I can't seem to make this change anything.
Thanks for your help with this, by the way.
