Very much doubt it, though you always can try Tildesoft's Notification
Watcher just to be sure. Depending on the sort of operation it is that
you're wanting to monitor (i.e. if it's something that doesn't block
the main event loop), you may be able to poll Excel via its Apple
event interface; clumsy, but better than nothing. For more specific
advice and suggestions, write up a complete description of what you
need to do, and try asking on the AppleScript-users list as well as
that's where most Excel scripters can be found.
I don't have much hope of that .. so what I probably need to focus
on is how to display the Excel spreadsheet in my document window.
I suspect what you really want is Windows, where Office is a major
embeddable application framework in itself. ;)
Failing that, there are third-party Excel parsers around for various
language if all you want to do is display the spreadsheet post-
processing, and don't forget stuff like OpenOffice which contain full-
blown spreadsheet engines and Excel file importers/exporters. Really
though, what's best/practical/possible all depends on what you're
trying to do, so if you want more advice then you'll need to provide
more information.
