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

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
If you don't have the original tools installed (for which you must pay), the Service Pack will not install. It contains only the differences between the original tool code and the updated versions.
What would be the difference?
This KB describes a Service Pack for the Office 2010 Proofing Tools, not the tools themselves.

Oh, and it's free!
For anyone in the UK trying to find the Language Pack for Office 2010:
After days of searching on the internet, trying to buy from Microsoft in the US (and failing) and many wasted hours of on-line chat with Microsoft assistants, we have finally managed to download the Arabic language pack for Office 2010. It's not possible to download it directly oneself - you need the help of a Microsoft Technical Support assistant - and not all of the assistants seem aware of how to do it, so be persistent until you find someone who does.
We initially found the Language Pack on the Microsoft site in Ireland and and when our attempted purchase failed we rang the technical help number shown on the screen. I was told you can also ring the UK technical support number. We gave our credit card details and the advisor e-mailed us a security code which we had to read back to him. We then logged in to our Microsoft Account and the Pack was waiting for us to download. The price is 19.99 euros and your bank will convert the amount. Hope that helps others in the UK who have had trouble finding the Language Packs.
