Default how to enter multipliers in excel

Pre-format the cells to Number with no DP

Enter 3e3 and see what comes up.

Excel 2003 returns 3000

hmm my point is not to type 3E3 and show it as that. i would like to type out
3E3 and for it to show 3000. How do i go by that? instead of formatiing cell
to show it as general or numerical and not scientific
