News command disappearing.

[Guest]

I have a clean install of Office 2003 Standard with OE 6.0 present.
Set up Outlook 2003 to read news by following the instructions.
I was able able to read all the headers and their contents on that session following the adding of "News" command to the the"Go" menu.
But after closing and reopening Outlook 2003 the "News" command was gone, and was nowhere to be found.
Outlokk Express 6.0 is NOT my default news reader neither is it my default email reader, I have "repaired" my Office 2003 with no results.

I am still able to read news with OE6.0 (still not the default news reader), but I would like to be able to use Outlook 2003 for email and news.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

The settings required for Outlook 2003 are different than earlier versions,
but just as illogical.
First, you must now select Outlook Express (not Outlook) as your default
news reader in Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs...
Second, if OE prompts you to make it your default news reader when you first
launch it, answer NO and tell it to stop asking.
