After a reinstall of my OS (10.4.10) MS Entourage suddenly uses the am/pm
time format despite the fact I'm using the 24-hour format as the default in
the OS.
Does someone know how I can set the prefrences so that Entourage uses the
24-hour format?
Hi Kent!
Entourage will use your Mac's system settings. That being said, Apple
has not done a very good job of making it easy to display a 24-hour time
format.
You most likely have gone into the Date & Time System Preferences pane
and selected "Use a 24-hour clock". (This really should be a radio
button that toggles with "Show AM/PM" because you don't need both.) But
you need to do more.
1. First, quit Entourage.
2. Next, go to the International System Preferences pane and click the
"Formats" tab.
3. In the Times section click the Customize... button. You'll see the
time format in a field at the top.
4. From the Show drop down menu select your preference for
Short/Medium/Long/Full. Select "PM" in the field below and delete it
along with its preceding space.
5. Then click the hour in the field. When selected you'll notice it has
an arrow that indicates a drop down menu. Select the 12 or 24-hour
format here that you prefer.
6. Relaunch Entourage and you should see the correct time format.
Hope this helps! bill
