Time representation in Writer

I was making a timetable in a *table *in a document in Writer and having 
trouble getting time to show properly and wonder if there is a way to 
change the configuration. The problem is when I want to write a time as 
'8.30' Writer automatically truncates it to '8.3' if I use a colon then 
Writer automatically makes it 8:30:00 (or was it 08:30:00) which is 
equally unsatisfactory. The only way I could overcome the problem was 
make the time '8.31' or use a comma '8,30'. If I needed '8.00' it ended 
up as '8' unless I wrote it as '8,00'

I can't see why Writer bothers with such things as removing a zero from 
the end of a decimal and presumably the problem/solution is in table 
properties or Auto Correct or Auto Complete  but I could not find it. It 
doesn't seem to happen when 8.00 is written in text just in a table. Is 
there something I can change?

Bruce
