I lost the News Command in my Outlook 2003 Repair did not work

[Guest]

Outlook 2003:
I was trying to add News to the Go menu. I think I rearranged the menu but
since then the command was gone. It was not available for re-installation
I have tried repair and reinstall of the Microsoft Office 2003, but this did
not help. I have not yet uninstalled Office and am hesitant about this

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.

Thanks a lot.
Do you know of any resource that explains the general architecture of the
Microsoft programs so that one can understand why the command was lost in the
first place.

Because there was no default newsreader set.
