iPages word definition lookup missing in new version

In the old version of iPages on the iPad you could double tap a word then hit define and it would give you the definition. This is missing in the new version. Anyone know how to access this feature please. thanks.

I had the same problem when I downloaded the new app and then found the solution. If you have iBooks, open any book and double tap a word. "Define" should appear as one of the options. When I tapped on it, it said I did not have a dictionary downloaded and asked if I wanted to. Say "yes" and it will give you a full range of dictionaries in the cloud to choose from for free and in many languages. Once you download a dictionary go back to Pages and the "Define" feature should be there. It worked for me. Hope it works for you.
