You don't. You use something else like Mozilla Thunderbird

Outlook uses Outlook Express in a news-only mode. Which version of Outlook do
you have? Older versions include a Go, News option that opens OE with news only.

Outlook does not support NNTP (network news transfer protocol). It
calls Outlook Express which does support NNTP.

I see Outlook 2002 as my news reader in the options of Internet Explorer.

That just means you'll use Outlook Express in a /newsonly mode when opening
it through Outlook (as the "Outlook Newsreader"), rather than using the
fully-functional OE for news (with mail functions enabled).
