Hi,

I have just downloaded and installed Office 2010 RTM. Overall, it is very nice, but I miss having proofing tools available for my native language, Danish.
I have installed the 2007 Proofing Tools, but they do not work with 2010:

For this release we have made significant changes in the proofing infrastructure, therefore the Language Packs from previous Office versions including Office 2007 are not compatible with Office 2010.

Does anyone know a workaround until the 2010 Proofing Tools are released?

Thank you,
Martin
