Enable Search from within Word 2013

We are unable to utilize the Bing (or Google) search with highlighted words in Word. This is the error we get. I can't find a registry key or Office option to allow access to the internet. Yes, we can use the internet (no restrictions).


Answer
Answer
At File tab | Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings | Privacy Options, select the option "Allow Office to connect to the Internet." If you can't access the option, then you have to talk to your network administrator, as suggested in the message.
