Default Enter time with . but display as :

I appreciate the fast response and as this is required on a daily basis, this
is the best way I think. However, I am struggling with it.

I use Excel 2007 so not sure if this makes a difference. I changed the
range initially to match where I will be entering the data, but it is not
working. E.g. if I type 135 in a cell, it shows 3240:00 instead of 1:35. The
cell is formatted as [h]:mm.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi
I would like to enter time into a timesheet using the decimal point
instead
of the colon as it makes it easier and quicker to type, however I still
want
it to display correctly with the colon.
For example - if I enter 12.35 I would like it to display as 12:35 so it
is
literally just changing the . to :
Many thanks in advance.
