Adding "News" item to MS Outlook tool bar
Hi,
I'm running MS Office 2003 over Win2000Pro, all with latest service packs/security updates. I tried to add a News item to the MS Outlook toolbar. Using guidance from Outlook's Help, I opened the Customize dialog, selected the Commands tab and dragged the News item to the Outlook toolbar. That created a "News" item with no icon and the letter "s" underlined. So far, so good. When I subsequently tried to open the Newsreader by clicking that item, I got a Windows Explorer window listing a bunch of DLLs in G:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033. I reopened the Customize dialog and found that the Notes entry was no longer listed in the Commands tab. 1. How do I recover from this debacle? 2. What did I do wrong when trying to add News to the Outlook toolbar. TIA, Richard --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Adding "News" item to MS Outlook tool bar
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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Richard L" wrote in message ...

Adding "News" item to MS Outlook tool bar
Hi Russ,
I've got email and news both working with OE and ALL my existing stuff has been restored (including email I got in the interim after installing and accessing email in Outlook because I kept the msgs I received on the server.) So computer life is beautiful, again. It would be nice to restore Outlook to its pristine state (i.e., without the broken "news" toolbar button, but if it really bugs me, I can always reinstall Outllook and readjust the Internet Options as you indicated. Many thanks for your help. Regards, Richard "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

I don't understand your question.
The instructions I posted return Outlook to its default state with regards to the News command. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Richard L" wrote in message ...
