How do i add this discussion group to my newsreader

[lorrie]

this site talks about being able to add this disgussion group to my
newsreader "Newzcrawler", but i havent found any information on HOW to do
this on this website?

Yes my newsreader does have capability it asks for the SERVER name but
inserting
http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...osoft.public.word.docmanagement&lang=en&cr=US - doesn't seam to work?

Can anyone help me

 

[JoAnn Paules]

You'd be better off asking your question of the tech support department of
Newzcrawler.

 

[Graham Mayor]

The server name is msnews.microsoft.com - the newsgroup is
microsoft.public.word.docmanagement
See http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm

hi graham thanks for the reply,

it asks me to set it up in the preferences, all it requires is

News (NNTP) Server - which you told me is
microsoft.public.word.docmanagement - i put this in but i get error message
11004 (i will have to look this number up)

there is also "port" - what number should i enter here (it already enters
default numbers here)

there is a "Use secure connection (SSL)"

and

logon to server ( user & password boxes)

Help

The server is msnew.microsoft.com
as stated in my earlier post and in the link!
The port will be 119
The connection is not secure
You won't need a logon

That's why I suggested starting with your newsreader's tech support. They'll
be able to tell you what to use.

Look more closely at Graham's response:

Leave the default port number, and do not check the SSL box or the
logon box (this is a public news server, so it doesn't need any logon
information).

After you connect to the news server, then you can set which newsgroup
you want to read.
