Installing News Reader in Outlook Office 2007

[Getorganized]

I recently purchased a new HP computer with the Windows 7 64-bit operating
system on which I installed Office 2007. I want to activate the News Reader
within Outlook. The Help file tells me

1. On the Standard, click the Toolbar Options arrow .
2. Point to Add or Remove Buttons, and then click Customize.
3. Click the Commands tab.
4. In the Categories list, click Go.
5. In the Commands list, click News, and without releasing the mouse
button, do one of the following:
* Drag the News command onto the Outlook menu bar, and then
release the mouse button.

This is all pretty straight forward, except that in the command list from
which I am told to select "News", there is no "News" option. What am I
missing?

The outlook News Command, simple starts the windows newsreader, however win7
doesnt have either a default email program or newsreader.
You would need to download Windows Live Mail from MS to view news

I followed the directins in above post and reply after installing Outlook 2007 and removing Thunderbird. The "news" button in GO menu openred Windows Live Mail and displayed Newsgroups. I uninstalled Thunderbird, which I used for email and newsgroups, rebooted and the NEWS button is not on the GO menu or in the Add Icon/button menu. I can open windows live mail manually but what happened to the news button?
