Setting Up Newsgroups Access in Outlook - help please

[David Bell]

For several years I have used Outlook Express and accessed the Newsgroups
from the Tools menu within it.

I now have installed Outlook on my computer and would like to be able to
start the Newsgroup Reader from within Outlook.

I used the "help" facility ... and found the details below ... and followed
them.

-----------------------------------

The first time you use the newsreader, you must add the News command to the
Go menu.

1.. Add the News command to the Go menu.
How?

1.. 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 .
2.. Point to Add or Remove Buttons, and then click Customize.
3.. Click the Commands tab.
4.. In the Categories list, click Go.
5.. 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.
2.. Click the Go menu, and then click News
-----------------------------------

In step 1.5, I did release the mouse button when the 'News' was over the
'Mail' item in the drop down GO menu.

I now proceed to the GO menu (as per 2 above) and there is no 'News' option
in the GO drop down menu or in the items in the 'Mail" listings.

I would appreciate any suggestions you have ... to get the 'News" working
from within Outlook.

Thanks.
