Thanks for the replies.
My document indeed was using Arabic digits that are located in a different Unicode position, so the Number function failed.

What I actually did in the end to solve that was pretty primitve:
I put in the script Find/Replace commands to search for all 10 arabic digits and replace them with the regular digits. This solved the problem...
