Guest computerilliterate Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 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?

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.
