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.

Norman,
Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't realized I could type a formula in
the Custom section that wasn't already there. It works great.
