Change working time

[illinge]

I have MS Project 2007.

How do I change the project for all working days to be 6 hrs so M
Project views each day as 6 hrs working as a full day. I dont wan
working hours to be from 8am to 12pm and then 1pm to 5pm as the default
i.e my days are from 8am to 2pm.
So if I in a Gantt chart enter 6 hrs it must be viewed as a ful
completed day so that if I enter a task that has it as a predesessor i
must start on the next day. i.e. 11 Jan 2010 6 hrs next task dependen
on 11 Jan must start on 12 Jan 2010
