Assuming the field bookmark name is "Text1" then the following run on exit
from the field will format negative numbers in red.
Sub NegFormat()
Dim oFld As FormFields
Set oFld = ActiveDocument.FormFields
If oFld("Text1").Result 1 Then
oFld("Text1").Range.Font.Color = wdColorRed
Else
oFld("Text1").Range.Font.Color = wdColorBlack
End If
End Sub
For a numeric field entry type set the field format to 0.00 or 0

yes, easily: in Excel! :-)
In Word, you'll probably need an on-exit macro assigned to the field
(that changes the color).
