Since Ventura, Mail no longer prompts to send with pages, pdf, word etc. One must first convert then mail. Adding this step is cumbersome & less efficient . The mind boggles that Apples has gone back a step.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4
In Ventura 13.0.1, Apple removed (or Ventura removed) all of the Pages v12.2 Send a Copy options that allowed one to select the export file type and automatically attach it to Apple Mail. If you want to attach the document types that you mention, you must now go the cumbersome route of exporting, and then drag/drop that document onto a new Mail compose window.
There remains a File menu > Print > PDF > Send in Mail that opens a Mail compose window with a PDF attached. The File menu > Share… > approach just opens a new Mail compose window with the Pages document attached.
I wrote a two part AppleScript solution with instructions here: PAGES: Where did "share as pdf" go? - Apple Community that prompts you for your choice of export format, exports the document, and automatically opens a new Mail compose window with the exported document attached. It can be a single-click solution, whether a Pages document is opened, or you select one (via the script) from a File chooser.

Cumbersome indeed. Most unlike Apple.
While the solution you advise works like a charm when emailing from Photos, it is a backward & awkward step in Pages to Mail when sending to Microsoft users.
I urge Apple to please reinstate the Mail options.
Thank you.
Except these are user supported communities and neither "Apple", nor any Apple product team particpates here due the public venue and Google archiving.
To communicate directly with the Pages product team, use the feedback form on the Pages application menu. I have already done this, as I expect, so have others.
Who knows, Apple may fix this going forward…
Why does Mail no longer prompt users to optionally send in pages, word, pdf etc?
