The format for positive numbers and zero is defined in front of the semicolon; after the semicolon the formula for negative numbers is defined. You can change the code (RED) under <item type="menuitem">Format code</item>. For example, instead of RED, enter <item type="literal">YELLOW</item>. If the new code appears in the list after clicking the <item type="menuitem">Add</item> icon, this is a valid entry.</paragraph> |
