The only time it would be 'necessary' would be because someone asked you to. But the practicality of scientific notation is that it is sometimes a quicker way to write numbers. E.g. It is easier to write 10 000 000 as 1.0 x 107.

How do you prevent Excel 97 from increasing column width when a large number is input?

You could try setting the format of the cell to show the number in scientific notation with a set amount of decimal places. That way it won't widen the cell, but your number will show in scientific notation, which may not be what you want. Another thing you can do is format the cell as text. The number will spill over into the next column, but the column won't widen out. If there is anything in the cell to the right of it, then the full number won't show. Those are two approaches you can take. For both the text and scientific notation formatting, you should apply the formatting before entering the values. Then it won't widen the column when you put in the data.
