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,

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.
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.
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?
Anything you can get free will be pirated. You don't have to install the entire language pack; you can install just the Proofing Tools without the UI.
I am having the same problem and I write on May 31, 2014. That's a year since this post. To say that this does not inspire confidence is the epitome of a euphemistic expression.
I'm not sure what your issue is. Office 2010 Language Packs are available. They are not free; they never have been. Language Packs for Office 2013 are also available, and they are free. Nothing has changed. It is more likely that Office 2010 Language Packs will become unavailable at any price than that they will become free, so if you need one, you should suck it up and buy it now.
