Reading RSS Feeds:
Reading RSS Feeds in outlook is like reading emails, when you click a particular Feed all the posts appear in the same format as the regular email. So you can view the whole post in the reader pane. It's as simple as that!

Importing OPML File:
If you are already using another reader and would like to transfer all the RSS Feeds to here, you can easily setup in Outlook 2007. From the current reader, export the entire RSS Feeds link in the xml format. This file is known as OPML file. After you have your OPML File, right click 'RSS' under 'All Mail Items' and click 'Import an OPML File'. Browse and point the file location and click Ok. Now you can view all your subscribed feeds in Outlook 2007.
