you use the "Look-up" feature it says I'm not connect, I am however connected
to the internet but Word doesn't recognize it... any help??

It's possible that your firewall prevents Word from accessing the Internet.
Take a look at the settings for the firewall.

Could it be that your firewall is blocking Word from accessing internet?

I have and I'm confused on what to look for. I honestly have no idea what I'm
looking for.. Now my Mcfee virus scan says it can connect to the internet
either..

I don't know the exact terminology for your antivirus program / firewall. My
firewall uses the term "blocked" for programs that aren't allowed to access
the Internet. You should look at the documentation for your antivirus
program and firewall.
