This format choice doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  The English  
add commas to separate sets of 3 zeros.

IE:
1 thousand = 1,000 or 1,000.00
1 million = 1,000,000 or 1,000,000.01
1 thousand and one penny = 1,000.01
1 million one penny = 1,000,000.01

I was not aware that Europeans did this (with full-stops?).

Have you tried the "1000,00" option for number format, instead?

Dumb question: have you tried entering 12.75 of quantity and printing  
an invoice?
