Highlight the data column with the time format. Go to Format, Cell, Number,
Custom, and select h:mm:ss. Go up to Type (just above your selection) and
change the h to hh.

I tried , but still have 04:01:59:22 there
(expected value is 04:01:59 after formatting ) :-)

I'd use Data|Text to columns.
fixed width
Draw a line only before :22

Then chose to skip that field (do not import)
