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 <emph>Format code</emph>. For example, instead of "RED," enter "YELLOW". If the new code appears in the list after clicking the <emph>Add</emph> icon, this is a valid entry.</paragraph>
