Excel 2008 for OSX seems to be missing a UTF8 import

No matter which I choose I get garbage for diacritics

the file is showing fine in TextWrangler which reports it is in UTF-8

Excel 2011 offers a few more choices … – slhck Jan 3 at 10:23
Any thoughts on how to get 2008 to do the same? – mplungjan Jan 3 at 10:45
Pathetic how hard this is compared with how easily Google Docs imported this. – mplungjan Jan 3 at 10:52
I don't think you can add this to Excel 2008. It was a very bad releas of Office for Mac. 2011 is marginally better. You could of course convert the raw text file before – or isn't that an option? – slhck Jan 3 at 13:21
No. I have the file from Nokia exporter. I fixed it by going via google docs. Thanks – mplungjan Jan 3 at 13:45
