Proofing tools for Office 2010

I'm trying to find proofing tools for Office 2010 on MS site, but something is completely wrong. All the links now bring me to the Office 2013 options. Even the link "Download a Language Pack for Office 2010" on http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/language-packs/office-2013-language-options-FX102851176.aspx brings me to Office Language Pack 2013 page.

Actually I don't need the full language pack, I just need the spellchecker working for some languages (russian, estonian, some more). As I see it is possible to freely download such proofing tools for Office 2013, but they don't work with Office 2010.

What I show do and where I can them?

Thanks in advance,

Vadim

    It is indeed frustrating. I need just a proofing tool for russian in office 2010. The neighbourhood kid is offering to install it for less than 10$. I dont see the sense in spending almost 25 bucks on a language pack when all i need is a proofing tool!!

    Can anybody please recommend a site where i cud download it for free?

    I was unable to find there "Office 2010 proofing tools". I don't need Language pack.

    I am having the same problem. Seems there's no separate proofing tool for Office 2010 but the language pack. A free proofing tool might be available only for Office 2013. 

    You can download a language pack from the internet for free.

    Okay, we've got a response from MS on this. On the page at http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.253665800, scroll down to the very bottom and click on the globe or the "United States - English" link to get to a page where you can change the location/language as appropriate.

    Once you're on the Microsoft Store page for your location/language, you can search for "Office 2010 proofing tools" or "Office 2010 language pack" and get to, for example, http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/mseea/fr_FR/pdp/productID.254541400 at the France - Français site.
