the first time i installed office 2003 and set up the
newsgroup reader in outlook it wokred fine
when i went back to it a couple of days later the news
link was gone and it also dissappeared from the go command
so i cant re-add it
i tried repairing outlook and also reinstalling office
but neither worked
 
Go to control panel->internet options->program tab. Make OE the default
news reader, not Outlook.

I've had exactly the same problem - have you been offered
a solution?
 
Try the following -- it seems to work for many:

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, click the "Don't ask me again" 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
/newsonly switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
