Disabling Scientific Notation

Anyone find a way of disabling scientific notation in Excel.  Excel treats text, which "look" like scientific notation as such.  For example "5E12".  There are work arounds of adding a single quote and remembering to input as "text".  Sure would be nice to just be able to turn it off in a particular workbook.

Answer

This is a built in behavior.  There is no control of this on the UI.  There may be a registry change or other similar thing.
