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

    Thank you Doug, I appreciate your help.  I have all these settings right.  Still, "proofing is not installed".  I don't understand why, or what I can do about that.

    Spell Check has worked perfectly for years.  It suddenly stopped working.  I am at a loss.

    Have you tried repairing the Office installation from Control Panel?

    Yes, Stefan.  "Change" doesn't work; nothing happens when I "click" on it.

    If you are saying that clicking on Change in the following dialog

    does not take you to

    then, I think you would need to insert the original Office DVD and run the Setup program, which will probably present you with a similar screen.
