I added the News button to the Go menu, but then it
disappeared from the menu after closing the newsgroups
the first time and it does not show up to add it anymore.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I have all of the
latest patches loaded for Office 2003.

Thanks!
 
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 am afraid you will need to find the botton again. It is
placed under the GOTO toolbar. I had a lot of troubles to -
but the advise making Outlook Express the default
Newsgroup reader helped me out.

Kind regards,
