You're looking for the Office 2021 proofing tools offline installer. Here's what I found:

Microsoft Office 2021 Proofing Tools

The proofing tools for Office 2021 include language-specific dictionaries, thesauruses, and grammar checkers. These tools can be installed separately from the main Office installation.

Offline Installer

To install the Office 2021 proofing tools offline, you'll need to download the installation package from Microsoft's website. Here are the steps: office 2021 proofing tools offline installer

1. Go to the Microsoft Office Support website.
2. Search for "Office 2021 proofing tools" in the search bar.
3. Click on the result that matches your Office version (e.g., "Proofing tools for Office 2021").
4. Click on the "Download" button to download the offline installer package (it should be around 500-600 MB).
5. Once the download is complete, run the installer package (it should be an executable file, e.g., "proofingtools.exe").
6. Follow the installation prompts to complete the installation.

Direct Download Link

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a direct download link for the Office 2021 proofing tools offline installer. Microsoft often changes its download links, and I don't want to provide an outdated or incorrect link.

However, I can suggest an alternative:

You can try using the Microsoft Office Deployment Tool (ODT) to download and install the proofing tools. ODT allows you to download and install Office products, including proofing tools, using a command-line interface. You're looking for the Office 2021 proofing tools

Command-Line Installation

If you're comfortable with command-line installation, you can use the following command to install the proofing tools:

setup.exe /configure proofingtools.xml

Assuming you've downloaded the ODT and extracted it to a folder, create a proofingtools.xml file with the following content:

<Configuration>
  <Add>  
    <Product ID="ProofingTools">
      <Language ID=" lang_id " />
    </Product>
  </Add>
</Configuration>

Replace lang_id with the language ID of the proofing tools you want to install (e.g., "en-US" for English). Go to the Microsoft Office Support website

Please note that the above method requires some technical expertise and might not be suitable for all users.

Step-by-step: Pre-download and Install Language Accessory Packs Locally

1. From a connected machine, download the official Language Accessory Pack installer(s) for Office 2021 from Microsoft (confirm the pack includes proofing tools).
2. Transfer the installer(s) to offline machines via USB or internal share.
3. Run the accessory pack installer on the target machine and follow prompts. Restart Office apps if required.

3. Third-Party "Helpers" (Office Tool Plus)

There is a well-regarded open-source tool called Office Tool Plus (based on the official ODT) that acts as a GUI for this process.

• Review: This is the closest thing to a "user-friendly offline installer" available. It allows you to select Office 2021, select specific languages (proofing tools), and download them to a folder. You can then install them offline later.
• Safety: While widely used in tech forums, it is not official Microsoft software. Users must decide if they trust a third-party wrapper for official Microsoft files.

Step 2: Create Configuration XML

Save as config_proofing.xml:

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2021">
    <Product ID="ProofingTools">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
      <Language ID="fr-fr" />
      <Language ID="es-es" />
      <!-- Add more language codes as needed -->
    </Product>
  </Add>
</Configuration>

3. Volume Licensing and Imaging

When creating a standard corporate image (SCCM, MDT, or Intune), you cannot rely on post-deployment user downloads. By integrating the offline proofing tools into your image, every new hire gets a fully configured Office suite with Hebrew, Arabic, or Norwegian proofing ready to use out of the box.
