I'm using the latest version of Entourage (11.2.5) on an (Intel) MacBook.
The problem I have is that despite setting the OS X timezone to a 24h clock
(and everything working fine there), Entourage ignores this and keeps giving
me AM/PM messages.

Is there any solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Michiel

You can make the necessary change in System Preferences. I think that you
probably set the menu bar clock to use 24-hour time, which doesn't affect
Entourage.

To have Entourage use 24-hour time, open System Preferences, and then open
International Preferences. Click the "Formats" tab. Under "Times", click
the "Customize" button. The first number that appears is probably the hour.
Click on it, and then select "00-23". Then, click at the end of the text
field, and press Delete to remove the AM/PM indicator. Click OK and then
quit System Preferences. When you relaunch Entourage, you should see that
it is now using 24-hour time.

Thanks Mickey,
I did make the changes via the International > Formats route.

Apparently the first time round it got stuck (or Entourage didn't catch the
changes), but when I re-entered al the numbers (after resetting to some
default location and back) all was ok again.

Cheers, Michiel
