Claire,

No, you cannot change the sign of a group of existing transactions.  You
must enter minus signs one at a time, but it goes reasonably fast once you
figure out your finger placement and develop a rhythm (really,I have to do
it every month for one credit card account that always imports backward).
I start by setting the view to Transaction Journal so I can monitor my
progress more easily.
