Yes, WF 8 support MS 10 and IE 10. You may need to configure MIME setting so it works fine.

Thanks,
Ram

I don't think, you can do it at server level. Changes requires at individual PCs.

Here are the two links, I googled for you

The file format differs

Suppress the warning message

Thanks Rifaz,
This suggestion fixes the issue temporarily,as users need to be trained to implement it on there machines individually.
Can you confirm if the same warning message occurs when using EXL07 on WF8.
