I currently use Office 2003 and Outlook Express. We are upgrading to Office
2007 and will be making the move to Outlook. Is there a way to access the
newsgroups that are available to me through Outlook Express once I make the
move to Outlook 2007?

As Russ already has mentioned, Outlook doesn't support the NNTP protocol
to manage newsgroups. Either you are going on using Outlook Express as
your newsreader (or any other software o or you're using an Outlook
add-on as http://www.shorelinesoftware.com/ or
