Two page file showing the problem

The attached document should on the second page align amounts on the decimal tabs. It aligns them on the comma. Locale is UK. Document imports correctly in Word XP.

Confirmed.
Word uses the first non-digit except the group separator from the user locale for a tab stop.
LO doesn't emulate this.
