Default Merging Time Fields

Does not work. 13.30.00 will print correctly as 13:30 but 08.30.00 prints 0:00

It's treating these values differently.

Try adding a

\@ "H:mm"

switch inside the closing } of the mergefield that is displayed when you use
Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of the field codes

My data source has the time formatted in this manner: 08.30.00 and I want
it
to print 8:30 am in Word yet it prints 12:00 am. If the time is 13.30.00,
it
will print fine: 1:30 pm. What is wrong?
