Out of curiousity, have you tried gnumeric? I have found it to work very well with excel spreadsheets. The only cavaet I can think of is that if your spreadsheet has VBA[1] in it, it probably wont work properly in gnumeric. If its just a spreadsheet however, it'll work fine.
On a related note, Gnumeric seems to have issues with UTF-8 under RedHat 9. If you set the LC_ALL environment var to en_US before you launch it things are better. But in general it doesn't like RH9's font or unicode setup. Newer versions of Gnumeric might be better. -- Oliver Jones § Senior Software Engineer § Deeper Design Limited. oliver(a)deeper.co.nz § www.deeperdesign.com § +64 (21) 41-2238
