I got the same problem, and tracked it down to the a length problem.
When I create a working file with a certain length and add one character in any cell, the error appears.

I have generated the excel spreadsheet using Spreadsheet_Excel_writer. Every thing is working fine in Openoffice, but in MS Office when I try to open the generated spreadsheet it gives error message "File error: data may have been lost." but there is no data loss. How can we avoid this message.

This is happening only with MS Office 2007
Here is my code,
<?php
-------
mb_internal_encoding('ISO-8859-1'); 
$workbook = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer();
$workbook->setVersion(8);   
-----
?>

Suggestions are welcome.
