Can anyone please tell me why word-wrap: break-word will not work in IE8?
I have this working in other browsers but IE8 refuses to listen despite reading this post on their site?

If we use ie7, it could break the long word well. So I suggest you could add the meta tag in html to force the ie using ie7.

Using word-wrap , overflow-wrap , and word-break CSS properties. You can use the word-wrap , overflow-wrap , or word-break CSS properties to wrap or break words that would otherwise overflow their container.
The word-break property in CSS is used to specify how a word should be broken or split when reaching the end of a line. The word-wrap property is used to split/break long words and wrap them into the next line.
If I recall correctly, word-wrap: break-word; is indeed supported in Internet Explorer 8, but the styled element must have layout.
