= SUMMARY =

If you enter a time greater than 11:59 A.M. in a Works spreadsheet, Works will display that time relative to the 24-hour clock. For example, “1:00PM” will be displayed as 13:00, “2:00PM” will be displayed as 14:00, etc. This problem will occur if the Macintosh clock is set to 24-hour mode.

To change the time mode to a 12-hour format:


 * 1) From the Apple menu, choose Control Panel. (If you are using System 7.0, choose Control Panels from the Apple menu, then choose General Controls.)
 * 2) Under Time, select the 12hr box to change to 12-hour mode.

Additional Information:

Works will display all times entered before 12:00 as “A.M.” hours unless “P” or “PM” is included in the entry.
