In Microsoft Project 2007, I can't work out why my tasks are scheduled to finish later than I would expect for the Duration I put in.

I enter a task with a start date on a Monday and a 1-day duration, and it shows the Finish as Tuesday.

Task Name     Duration  Start       Finish
Do Something     1 day  12/04/2010  13/04/2010

How can I set this up so a one-day task takes one day, and not one-and-a-bit? I want a one-day task that starts on a Monday to finish on the Monday.
