[mso] Calculating less than 24 hours of life when crossing midnight?

Objective: How long did this person live?
If I format as yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM, and enter 1955-10-25 19:23 in J5, and enter
1955-10-26 02:07 in J6.

Entering =J6-J5 in cell J7, yields 1900-01-00 06:44. I know and understand
that "1900" is zero in this case, but does anyone have a suggestion how work
the formula so that the answer above would read:
"0000-00-00 06:44"
-or-
0yrs 0mths 0 dys 6hrs 44 mins
????

The last two formats would be easier for non-computer literate people to
understand. I prefer the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format if possible. It will be
faster for students to enter.

Thank you everyone.

Robert
