online dictionary, thesaurus and translation

[computerilliterate]

I have just changes PC unit, and I am trying to find my old settings, as I
could not transfer them from the old one. One setting that I used to rely
heavily on is the online translation, synonym, thesaurus, dictionary etc. I
used to click or highlight one word in my text (in word), to find a synonym
in the same language, or a definition, or a translation of this word into
another language, French mostly. The usual window used to appear on the right
of the text, with many suggestion. The version I have now is very poor and
hardly suggest anything...

God knows how I managed to install this first place, but it appeared one
day, and I haven't got a clue how to install it again.

I am sure it is very simple to do, can anyone help me on this?

This being a question concerning Word, you should repost to one of the
groups dedicated to that - I suggest microsoft.public.word.newusers.

You will need to give more detail: what operating system(s) you're using (ie
version of Windows), what version(s) of Microsoft Word (from Help > About)
on your old and new systems.
