Default Automatic Decimal Places?

Hi chikalele,

In some situations I find it handy to input my data without decimals
and then use the Paste SpecialDivide capability.

so I can input say;

7
15
1256
2548
6589

Then put 1000 in a cell copy it and then Paste SpecialDivide
and convert the data to;

0.007
0.015
1.256
2.548
6.589

I want to enter data into cells and not have to type the decimal point every
time. Is there any way to do this? I know you can set the number of places
behind the decimal point, but it still means you have to type the point every
time.
