Pages APP dictionary not linked, only "Siri knowledge, wiki, movies and the iTunes store"

Apple, please stop closing the issue and provide a solution to this specific Pages APP absence of the dictionary. All "settings" are accurate on MacBook. The Dictionary opens to define words properly within other programs such as safari. It is not linked to Pages.

No Dictionary on the list at the bottom selection at all:

Safari App, Dictionary is the first linked as it should be.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.0

Forgive me, but I 'm having trouble understanding what you're talking about.

I *think* you're saying you can't get a dictionary definition of a word when using Pages.app, is that right?

It's literally the first option when you ctrl-click on a word in Pages:

So what am I missing here?

That is exactly what it should look like. That is how it comes up in other apps except for my Pages App. I show in image two how it populates in Safari. What happened that the Pages App took this away? It had to be an Update. The Dictionary is not referenced when clicking "LOOK UP" a word while in the Pages App. See the bottom references link to both images. Dictionary comes up in Safari, but is no where listed when using Pages.
