Jack,

Although Midun presented a direct answer, I like to find out a little more about the "why" of a question as often there is more to it and the direct answer may not be the best answer. For example,

are all the tasks in your plan expressed in calendar weeks (ewks) or just some of them?

why exactly do you want/need to change from calendar weeks to working weeks?

what is your end goal?

John

1. Click the Duration field in MS Project.
2. Delete e from ewks and type wks (e.g., 2 ewks → 2 wks).
3. Press Enter.
If there are many tasks, you can use Ctrl + H (Find and Replace) to replace ewks with wks.

wks = Working weeks (normal project time) ewks = Elapsed weeks (includes weekends and holidays)
