For some bizare reason the News reader in my Outlook 2003 version is
missing. I have gone through the steps in the help file and have added it
once to the menu but it's now gone and I cannot find it to get it back. I've
also run any of the Office updates again no luck getting it back. I know
I've killed it somehow but short of uninstalling Office what options exist?

Thanks,

Chris
 
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.
 
Thank you very much - it worked!
