I think you would need VBA but here is a work around for a one-time entry.
Enter the numbers
Type 1000 in an empty cell
Copy that cell
Select the range of numbers and use Paste Special, specify Multiply
Delete the 1000

Either I need more step-by-step instructions (the 0's are infront) or it is
not working. I need it for a template.

Thank you for trying.

If you actually want to change the number on entry, rather than format the
number as mentioned in your subject line, then you could use Tools/ Options/
Edit/ Fixed decimal places: Set to -3, but you'll need to remember to put
it back to normal afterwards.

Rumina,

The zeroes are in front? Like "000123" ? Then format/cells/custom ######
But if the zeroes are trailing, like "123000", then format/cells/custom/
###"000"

?
