I subtract 1:0:26 from 1:34:54 and get 12:34:38 AM - I want total.

I need help with an Excel formula. I am tracking total video time so when I
subtract the length of the video, my return value is coming back as time of
day. Here it is: Cell D3 = Start Time = 1:0:26 (the cell is formatted
Custom [h]:mm
Cell E3 = Finish Time = 1:34:54 (the cell is formatted Custom [h]:mm

When I do the following formula: =E3-D3, the return value is 0:34:28 (which
is what I want)

When I copy and paste special, values - it converts this to time of day
12:34:28 AM - Question: How do I keep the return value 0:34:28 ?

I have XL2003, so I have the option of "Value and number
formats" under Edit > Paste Special. If you don't have
that option, after doing Edit > Paste Special > Value,
repeat the process and select Formats.
