I have been using OE for long time and am able to add newsgroups. However, after I switched to Outlook 2003, I don't know how to add newsgroup. Can anyone help?

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

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.

When you switch to Outlook from Outlook Express, you CONTINUE to use
Outlook Express as your newsreader, since Outlook does NOT contain native
newsreader capabilities. To access newsgroups, Outlook uses whatever the
default Windows newsreader is. Usually, this is Outlook Express.

In versions of Outlook before Outlook 2003, when Outlook Express is the
default newsreader, it has the label "Outlook Newsreader" at the top of the
folder list when Outlook Express is executed as a child process by
"View|Goto|News".

In Outlook 2003, the Outlook Express executed as a child process (from
"Go|News") looks exactly like Outlook Express without access to email. It
even says "Outlook Express" at the top of the folder list. At least it did
in the public beta.

But it is not necessary to use Outlook Express. You can use whatever
newsreader you wish.
