Is there a way to be able to type it in a number (i.e. 11.45) and have it
display as a time (11:45)? When I format the cell to display as time I have
to type the hour, a colon, and minutes. Is there any way around this?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("H1:H10")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If IsNumeric(.Value) Then
.Value = TimeSerial(Int(.Value), .Value * 100 Mod 100, 0)
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

instruction on how to change the cells? I really appreciate you replying but
could you bring it way down to a beginners instructions??!! :)

The instructions are here

copy the code from the answer you got and paste it, Bob's example is using
the range H1:H10, you can change that to whatever you want the range to be

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/install.htm

you need a macro to get this conversion done or you can use autocorrect and
replace a period with a colon

If you want a solution which doesn't involve macros, you can change the number
11.45 to a time of 11:45 with the formula:

=TIME(INT(A1),MOD(A1,1)*100,0)

To use this, you could set up your spreadsheet to enter the number in one cell,
then have an adjacent cell use this formula to convert it to a time, then work
with that.
