Consider using a news agent like Outlook Express and signing up directly

the news server. news://msnews.microsoft.com/

See http://word.mvps.org/FindHelp/WhichNewgrp.htm BTW, there is no Word
General Questions newsgroup.

Any ideas why I cannot read/join the newsgroups? I can scroll to the
list,
e.g. English/Office/Word, but then when I select (for example) "Word
General
Questions" I get "Page Cannot be Displayed" Try later etc.

This happens at work, but not here. Obviously, since I am posting from
here.

Any ideas? I have checked with our network people, and they say they are
trying to make sure that Microsoft content makes it through the
firewall.

Please let me know.

Thanks.
