Lost news button

glowe · Jul 31, 2004

According to the online help for Office 2003:

Add the News command to the Go menu.
How?

On the Standard toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that
you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize
on the Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.), click the
Toolbar Options arrow .
Point to Add or Remove Buttons, and then click Customize.
Click the Commands tab.
In the Categories list, click Go.
In the Commands list, click News, and drag it, without releasing the
mouse, until it rests over the Go menu. When the menu displays a list
of commands, point to where you want the command to appear, and then
release the mouse.
Click the Go menu, and then click News.

Ok, I do this, but there is no News "command" to drag to the Go menu.
I see Inbox, Mail, Drafts, Outbox, etc., but no News. Anybody have
any idea how to make it appear, in either Customize or in the Go menu?

Thanks for all help!

To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the No
button.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
