Hi,

I've read through a bunch of messages related to my problem - getting
newsgroup access set-up in Outlook 2003 - but I've found nothing that
has my same issue. When trying to add News to the Go menu, as
instructed in the Help, my cursor becomes a box with an "X" through it
which, I assume, means that I can't do this. How do I enable this
feature?

I do have Outlook Express installed - it was my previous email client
and newsreader. When I try to change the default newsreader via
Control Panel > Internet Options, I only have OE as an option. I'm
using Win2000 Pro.

I'm new to Outlook 2003, so forgive me if this seems too newbie a
question, but do I gather correctly that OE is the newsreader used by
Outlook 2003? If so, is there no integration between the two other
than starting it?

Any light you can shed on this is welcome.

Best - Joe
 
It's just a shortcut indeed. Are you sure you Drag&Drop correctly? Can you
place it anywhere else between some buttons on the Toolbar?
