Default formula for converting military time to standard time, etc

Ooops, sorry, it appears that I changed the cell to TEXT. Now back to the
original problem, I have the problem with A2-4. I have the formula for these
cells set up as hhmm but each time I enter a number, i.e. 0500 it goes back
to 0000. I changed it to hh:mm and it is the same 00:00 but should be 05:00.
What's up?

I have 5 cells in a row (A1 - A5). I need to subtract, in military time,
A1
from A2 and then A3 from A4 and the total should be in A5 as standard
time.
Cells A1-A4 are formatted as hhmm and cell A5 is formatted as hh:mm.
