Default Formatting Time

I am working with a time field within a merge. My switch looks like
this:

{ « MERGEFIELD After_School_Hours» \@ "h:mm PM" }

Once merged, my data says 5:15 P4

Why is it putting P4 instead of PM?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Default Formatting Time

You need

{ MERGEFIELD After_School_Hours \@ "h:mm AM/PM" }

Without the AM/ part, Word substitutes the month number for the "M"
giving you "P4"
