I don't want it to autoformat the time in a table - anyone know what to do?

Question

I'm working on a table, and if I type in "8:00" it changes it to "10/22/2008 8:00:00 AM". Does anyone know what I have to do to stop it from doing this?
Thanks,
Justin

Don't forget that the Help available in the program is also for you
searching with the clumsy keystring 'time format' returns:
+*Using the Date and Time Format*+
+Use the date and time format to display date and/or time values.+
+To define a date and time format for one or more cells:+
+Select the cell or cells.+
+Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Table Inspector button, and then click Format.+
+Choose Date & Time from the Cell Format pop-up menu.+
+To specify how you want a date formatted, choose a format from the Date pop-up menu.+
+To specify how you want a time value formatted, choose a format from the Time pop-up menu.+
Remember, there is no time object in iWork's components. Just date-time ones.
When we enter only the time part, the program always complete it with the current date.
