Toolbar Button Problem

Ok... here's a fun one.

I was trying to set up Outlook 2003 to work with Usenet newsgroups. I
successfully put it on the toolbar, following the instructions within
"help." (the instructions included going to "add/remove buttons" on the
toolbar... "customize"... "go"... then dragging "news" to the menus).

Well, I decided I did not want the button where I had placed it, so I
decided to drag it to a new location. That did not work, but the button
then decided it wanted to open a directory. I decided to delete the button
and start over. This it where it becomes a BIG problem. The option for
"news" is no longer in the "add/remove" buttons menus. I tried repairing my
outlook files... I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office... NOTHING
restores "News" to the "add/remove buttons" menu.

All I want to do is recreate that button so I can view newgroups from within
Outlook. Any suggestions? Will I need to call for assistance on this one?
Thanks

Chris

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, click the "Don't ask me again" box and then click the No button.

You may need to reset the menu or toolbar using Tools, customize.
