Posted too quickly

I should have added that having set the format, just enter 80 for 8:0 or 82
for 8:2

Hi Raju

No, it will not be there, you need to create it yourself.
Underneath the word Type, is a small rectangular white pane which will have
the word General as default.
Click in that pane and type #":"# then OK
That will create a new Custom type for you, which will then appear in the
list of Custom types.
