The thing is, I'd be VERY surprised (neigh, shocked!) if Excel can't open a file that is in UTF8-- it just might need to be TOLD that its utf8 when you go and open the file, as UTF8 looks just like ASCII -- until it contains characters that can't be expressed in ASCII. But I don't know what type of file it is you're saving.
We found that UTF-16 was required for Excel. It would not "do the right thing" when presented with UTF-8.
