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

That link takes me to http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.253665800, which has a dropdown in which a language can be selected. Since this is a US site, it may not be available in other countries because of pricing issues.
Suzanne, when I clicked that link yesterday it just took me to the MS Store main page, with no obvious way to get to proofing tools. Today it works as intended. Tomorrow... who knows?
Indeed.
Microsoft is FORCING users to download pirated versions of its software.
It is absolutely ridiculous to sell a language pack at the price of $25. As is no less ridiculous to sell MS Office at the price of hundreds of dollars. $25 is a weekly salary of most Medical Doctors in most countries of the world. USA, Canada, UK and France are NOT among most countries of the world.
At this time, majority of 7-billion population of Earth already has access to computers, most of which use Microsoft Office. It is ridiculous to expect that one company should charge hundreds of dollars each person on the planet. Software must now be priced at a level of cents, not dollars, with all additional bells and whistles for that soft added for FREE. Even at a price level of $0.01 for Office, Microsoft will continue to ride the gravy train. But - this might finally squeeze the pirates out (not sure if would be to the delight of the monopolist).
The greed of Microsoft is astonishing.
No one is forcing you to buy Microsoft Office. You can use Open Office or LibreOffice instead. Development is costly. Perhaps you feel that Microsoft should pay its employees third-world salaries in order to price its products at third-world prices?
