         <Paragraph>You can enter one digit for hours and minutes under 10. If
		  you enter hours followed by minutes, you must use a separator. Entered seconds
		  are only displayed if the time formats that you selected in LN and in
		  Windows both display seconds. For details, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/basictasks/000060" role="manual">Formats of dates and times</Link>.</Paragraph>

		  12 and 24 are converted to the 12 hour format, followed by the selected AM and
