(?) My previous answer is gone in digital space. (Can anyone hear me scream?)
GREP to the rescue. Search for
,(\d\d\d)
and replace with
~S$1
This replaces the commas in "12,345.67" with a fixed space. Next, only periods inbetween two digits should be replaced with a comma, right? Search for
(\d)\.(\d)
and replace with
$1,$2
The period in the Search expression needs a backslash escape because it's a special character in GREP searches ("any character").
If you need to run this on multiple documents, store each search-and-replace sequence under a logical name, and search this forum for the little script to chain them automatically.
