Default why won't excel recognise times


my 2003 stable book says that when I autofill with a time, such as 11.30am,
the am should change to AM confirming its recognising the data as a time. My
excel 2003 won't do this. Why? And what do I need to do to change it? Only
recently updated from office pro 97.

Try using a colon instead of a dot and leave a space before the am:

11:30 am
will change to
11:30 AM
