My News Button vanished in Outlook 2003

[Stanford Lynx]

My old computer burned up and I am setting up a new one with WinXPsr2 and
Office 2003 --OUTLOOK 2003

When I went to add the "NEWS" button to the "GO" Menu list--my finger
slipped and the "NEWS" button disappeared! I normally use OUTLOOK to start
the newsreader and have been happy with doing it that way. I usually go the
Toolbar/Menu > Add or Remove Buttons > Customize > GO > and then drag the
"NEWS" button over to the GO on the main toolbar/menu (whatever it is.).

How can I resurect the "NEWS" button? I tried the detect and repair but it
is still missing.
Thanks.
Stan

OK

I just read through some of the old posts that I downloaded after
writing the question below. I tried what Diane suggested (see below)
and shut down Outlook then restarted. The "News" button did come back
to the "GO" section (Toolbar/Menu > Add or Remove Buttons > Customize >
GO >). I then went to drag it to the other GO on the menu header, and it
slipped again. This time it just stayed on the top row between VIEW and
GO. I then went back to the Toolbar/Menu > Add or Remove Buttons >
Customize > GO > and then dragged the

"NEWS" button over to the GO on the main toolbar/menu.

This time it DID go into the "GO" Menu, and it is also showing between
the
VIEW and GO menu headers. So there are two ways to start the newsreader


Thanks Diane,
Stan

Ps
After all this trouble I think I'll go back to the NewsHound --it's
great.
================================================================================

||| |||| To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in
