Hi,
I am no longer able to look up words via the highlight/click function on pages - when I try and configure the dictionary I only have Wikipedia available. I can't seem to find any information on adding or downloading thesauruses / dictionaries to the newest edition of pages. It's driving me crazy!
I've tried to screen shot the dictionary window but am being told that the content is "not permitted" (!)
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
In your Applications folder resides the Apple Dictionary application. Open that, and from its Preferences, select and drag to organize the order of dictionaries you want presented. These will appear left to right in the Dictionary application toolbar, and top to bottom from the Lookup panel when you hove the mouse over a word and either type control+command+d, or use a simultaneous three-finger tap.
Pages does not provide for downloading or adding dictionaries.

If I click on any of the languages at the bottom I'm unable to drag them either... I'm sure I'm doing something stupid here... apologies!
Is there a chance I've deleted or no installed the standard dictionaries...?
Many thanks for your reply - I did try this before. When I open the preferences the only available dictionary is wikipedia...
