I have several documents and signs in English that I have created for
customers. The customers are now requesting that I make them
documents & signs in both English & Spanish. Is there a way to select
the text that I have, and translate it to Spanish?

Yes, you can do that...

Select the text, hold the Alt key, and click on the selection. The Research
task pane opens. The first time, you'll have to set the search type to
"Translation" and set the from/to languages. For some reason, the results
are below a very large blank space, so you have to scroll down to see them.

This may work well enough for the short phrases on the average sign. Still,
you'll want to have the results checked by someone who is familiar with the
particular dialect(s) spoken by your customers. Words that are perfectly
ordinary in, say, Castilian Spanish may have unsavory connotations in, say,
Mexican or Cuban Spanish. The machine translation in Word won't tell you any
of that.

But if you have to have a person check the translations, why not just have
that person write the translations in the first place?
