Opening the word file automatically with pages rather than MS word application

In fact, I’d like to post a solution for issue rather than a question regarding word documents in files application of iPad. The problem was posted previously by one of the users and I want to help. The issue concerning word app that is downloaded on iPad and it used to automatically open all files in the word app but lately it started opening them in pages instead. The solution can be done simply by tap and hold any word document in files > share > word and thats it. I hope the problem is resolved now with best regards.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
