Re^4: Spreadsheet::WriteExcel with UTF-8 text

This is several years old--Excel 2000 9.0.2720. I'd have to look it up specifically to see if it has support, but given the age, if I had to guess, I'd guess not. Thanks for the tip; I will try it if someone with a newer version of Excel reports the same problem.

If you cannot upgrade your version of Excel, OpenOffice is an excellent replacement. Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.	[reply]
