Default Open UTF-8 in Excel 2007

I have UTF-8 encoded tab delimited data files. They have the UTF-8 header
"EF BB BF". These files would open up perfectly in Excel 2003, but in 2007
the special characters are all garbled. Is there a setting for Excel 2007 to
recognize UTF-8?

Default Open UTF-8 in Excel 2007

I'm in a like situation. So far there seems to be very little information on
this in the context of MS 2007 products... Did you happen to find a solution
since 4/22?

Default UTF-8 Delimited

Hi,

I had this problem too. Don't open the file... create a new sheet, go to the data tab and use 'from text'. Then you can select the encoding.
