Look carefully at the options. For example, in the Time tab, at the foot of the dialog, you will see it says:- (My comments in brackets) h = 12 hour (lower case h) H = 24 hour (upper case H) hh,mm,ss = leading zero h,m,s = no leading zero" So in the "Time format:" list box, select either of the options with a single letter h.
