Default format time problem

Hi,

I have a column for enginners to enter the time an appointment starts. I
want this column to look like 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 and so on. Not those exact
numbers, just that format. I went to format cells and all the time formats
include seconds or dates so I went to custom formats. On here I found hh:mm
which is exactly what I need. The only problem is that if I simply enter 10
for instance meaning 10am (as many engineers will) for some reason the time
remains at 00:00 and a date is added before it, usually a date in Jan 1900.
Is there anyway of forcing it to only format to hh:mm?
