Newsreader Option on Outlook 2007 Menus

[Blue Max]

We cannot find any option to open the OE newsreader from within Outlook
2007. It apparently doesn't appear on the menus as it did in earlier
versions and, as such, we cannot add it to the toolbar! Someone out there
gave the reason and showed how to fix the problem. Unfortunately, our
computer crashed and we lost the message and cannot find it in the
newsgroup, sorry! Can anyone provide the steps for allowing the OE
newsreader option to appear back on the menus and toolbar?

The option appears by default in Outlook 2007.
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.

Thank you very much, Russ!
