I'm working on a massive English annual report right now. When it comes to the French the client will be providing a translation of the text, but not the numbers that appear in the financial statements; I am to take the numbers from the English. Rather than manually change all the formatting of the English numbers I'm wondering how to do a search and replace. For example, in English the number 12,450.67 needs to become 12 450,67 in French (comma becomes a space, period becomes a comma). Also things like 45.00% need to become 45,00% (period becomes a comma).
