I dont think you can do this in VI. Unless someone who knows vi macros can knock something together .... if you only have 1 number per line and you dont mind 0.000 instead of .000 then the following will work:

perl -e 'while($line=<>) { printf ("%.3f\n",($line/1000));}' inputfile.txt > outputfile.txt

Or if you had multiple numbers on each line then maybe:

perl -e 'while($line=<>){$line =~ s{(\d+)}{sprintf("%.3f",$1/1000)}eg; print "$line";}' inputfile.txt > outputfile.txt
