OWA doesn't work with IE8

[1DMF]

I've had a staff member complain that font changes / bullet points, pagination etc doesn't work in OWA anymore.

I've logged into OWA myself and they are correct, if you try to use any formatting or functions from the tool bar the browser just hangs.

I've found many threads on the net all complaining that IE8 and OWA doesn't work together, but as yet I've not found an answer.

Has anyone else experienced this problkem and do they have a solution?

Cheers,

Found the solution.

Basically go into OWA options, under e-mail security download and install the active-x component.

It then seems to function correctly. (so ignore the fact the thread talks about IE7)

Hope it helps others!
