Hi

I figured out how to pick "News" from Tools/Customize/Commands/Go and how to add it under the "go" menu
But it doesn't stay there
It just disappeared, and it is not available under Tools/Customize/Commands/Go anymore neither

I'd appreciate a bit of help

Thanks
Picso
 
It's a known issue. 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, clear the "Always perform this check..." 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.

I think you are referring to the Navigation Pane, which is not part of
Outlook Today but part of the overall Outlook interface. Currently there is
no way to add a News button to the Navigation Pane.

Hello again and thank you Jocely, this worked out great.

Allow me one more question while I am here please:
Can I also add a "News-button" in the lower left part of "Outlook
Today" ?
I mean the area where the big rectangular yellow buttons for Mail,
Calendar, Contacts, Notes etc are situated.

Thanks on beforehand.
