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

    Sorry, but that link resolves to

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Language-Accessory-Pack-for-Office-82ee1236-0f9a-45ee-9c72-05b026ee809f?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US&fromAR=1

    from which you can only obtain Language Accessory Packs for Office 2016.

    Office 2010 Proofing Tools were never free: they cost $24.95 per language. But you are correct that they are no longer available.

    The only ways that you can obtain Russian Proofing Tools for Office 2010 are:

    1. By purchasing a subscription to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN)
    2. By trying to find a copy for sale on a site such as ebay.

    It would be less expensive to take out a subscription to Office 365 as then for Office 2016, the proofing tools can be downloaded without charge.

    I believe that what Doug has said applies to all proofing tools for Office 2010, since you can no longer download them free from Microsoft. See Do I need a language pack, Language Accessory Pack (LAP), or a Language Interface Pack (LIP)? at https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Do-I-need-a-language-pack-Language-Accessory-Pack-LAP-or-a-Language-Interface-Pack-LIP-4548ec6b-6d0e-40aa-8780-7bbee9554e04?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US.
