OWA - Unable to enter text in Message Body

Hi,

Server OS: Win2K3 SBS R1, Exchange 2003 SP2
LAptop:  Vista Home Premium - Office 2007


We regularily use OWA with no problem.

The MD has bought himself a Vista Home Premium Laptop and when he
tries to access OWA he has a problem.

He can log on and view his inbox and other folders.

However if he creates a new message, replies or forwards an existing
one, the message popup window appears and he is able to enter To,
From, Subject etc, but NOT anything in the Message Body.

The area for the Body text has a small white square with a red cross
in it, as if a link or graphic can't be loaded.  There is an "error on
Page" displayed in the bottom left which says

Line 162
Char 2
Error: Object doesn't support the property or method.
Code 0


I have tried removing popup blocking, adjusted security settings etc
to no avail.  on his desktop he uses XP Pro and Outlook 2003 and Word
as the editor.  Thinking this might affect it (as he has 2007 on the
laptop)  I then changed it to plain text, but no change.  I can't find
a similar feature to change in OWA.

Any ideas/suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

ttfn

Richard

This is a known issue with IE 7 and Vista.
