Default how do i make #'s auto and 000 behind large numbers

ok, guess I worded my question wrong, I want to enter any size # and have it
auto add ,000 to make it times the number entered times 1000, for example...

123456 = 123,456,000 .. one hundred twenty three million four hundred fifty
six thousand.

Thanks
Mike

Click on the cell and:

Format Cells... Number Custom General",000"

This will give the desired appearance, (but retain the value).
