Outlook, OE and newsgroups

[Elaine Davis]

A while ago a friend installed his ISP's software on my
laptop to access his email and without realising it, I
ended up with Outlook Express (OE) on there. I was
already using Outlook 2000 at the time, as part of Office
2000 Pro. I've since installed Office 2003 and I would
like to start using it to view/post to newsgroups.
However, the Help files for Outlook 2003 about how to
access newsgroups (eg how to include 'News' on the 'Go'
button options) don't help, because there is no 'News'
option to pick. Is this because I've already got OE set
up to tackle newsgroups? If I remove OE will Outlook
then give me the 'News' options?

Outlook 2003 doesn't do newsgroups. That chore is still pushed over to
Outlook Express.

If you really have your heart set on getting newsgroups into Outlook, you
can try some of the NNTP addins for Outlook.

Thanks for prompt response. I will stop struggling with
it...!
