Monday to Friday default working hours?

[Mykl]

Forgive the newbie question please:

Perhaps I'm not understanding something... I'm trying to change the default
working hours for Monday to Friday to the following:

From To
8:15am 12:00pm
1:00pm 4:30pm

I'm doing this by using Tools / Options / Calendar Tab / Default Start Time
and Default End Time.

In the "Change Working Time" dialog box, when I select a weekday, the times
are still being shown as 8:00am to 12:00pm, and 1:00pm to 5:00pm... why?
What am I misunderstanding?

Thanks,
Michael

Pretty much to make your life easier, you should make all of your calendar
changes to the "change working time" dialog. Remember, there are possibly 3
calendars that can affect the scheduling of your task, the task calendar if
you give it a specific one (if not it defaults to the standard calendar), a
resource calendar if you have resources assigned to your task, and the
project calendar.

Thanks Mike and calihdog...

I'm getting along ok. The FAQ and calihdog's answer clarified things a
little. A question comes out of the FAQ though... so if I enter the
recommended parameters into "Enterprise Global", does that make any project
published to the Project Server use those parameters?

Thanks,
Michael
