Excel and Works should allow users to add hours and minutes over 24
without
including seconds. As it appears now, you have to type in hours and
minutes
over 24 manually if you don't want the seconds to show. For example:
134:50. Excel only allows 134:50:00. Works doesn't allow anything except
in
text format.
