Auto-propagation of numbers

I have had problems for years with auto-propagation of numbers. Thought I finally got it right last year but this year is a mess again.

I am translating accounting figures which use a full stop as a thousand divider and I want a blank, preferably a hard space, as a thousand divider.

I thought my set-up was correct:

Trados Studio Translation Memory Settings dialog showing Number Formats with different thousand separators and examples for English and Norwegian.

I 'OK' twice and get up the following:

Information dialog box stating 'The translation memory needs reindexing or other maintenance. For optimum performance, select the TM from the list, and, on the context menu, select Upgrade Translation Memory.'

but I do not know what or where the 'context menu' is so that I can select 'Upgrade translation memory'.

Not only does the thousand divider not change from a full stop to a space, but the number that is 'translated' is for the most part wildly incorrect as well.

Example:

Trados Studio segment view with a source text in Norwegian and its English translation, highlighting an incorrect auto-propagation of numbers with a comment 'totally incorrect'.

My source file is a pdf

I would really appreciate help with this recurring problem! 



Added that the source file is a pdf file.
