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

Hello! I tried to purchase Proofing Tools for Microsoft Office 2010, but when I clicked on the link, I was tranfered to a page regarfing Microsoft Office 2016. Can you tell me why does it happen and how can I purchase and/or download Proofing Tools for Microsoft Office 2010?
Microsoft is beeing a real dick about all the previous versions. Any search that was related to previous versions are now automatically forwarded to the new software, to promote them (much like apple and this info isn´t much helpful) what is helpful - Use torrent sites to download the free proofing tools without much hassle.
When you first purchased Office, which language version was that? I guess it is possible that your product key redirects to the original language that you had.
I also have a problem with Proofing tools in MSO 2010. But it is a little bit different matter.
I bought some years ago MSO 2010 Home and Student in Russian edition. Now I have to re-install it, but my back up copy of the distributive was lost. I used the service for MSO Backup Download, where they asked my Product Key. Everywhere I could, I chose "Russian" language, but the final link offers me to download English version, which doesn't have Russian Proofing tools. So ,the result is: I had bought Russian MSO 2010 and now I have to pay for Russian Spelling check (which due to currency staff costs me as much as the MSO, when I bought it :) )
I also have Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 and Microsoft Access 2010 both no English and searched for a Greek Language Pack. The link you mentioned (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/language-packs/redir/XT104012710.aspx) to Download a Language Pack for Office 2010, doesn't exist. Can you tell me if there is another link or way to download the Language Pack for Microsoft Office 2010? The only thing I need, is the Proofing Tools in Greek, because the language is displayed on all applications, but as "Not Installed". Thanks!
Proofing tools are not free for Office 2010. Unless your language version of Office supports Greek (most versions include at least a couple of extra languages), you will have to purchase a Greek language pack from the Microsoft store.
