When using the RadWordsProcessing in a WPF/WinForms project which targets .NET 6.0 , a System.IO.FileNotFoundException error may occur, stating that the file for assembly 'System.Text.Encoding.CodePages, Version=7.0.0.0' could not be found. This issue arises while utilizing the Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Html.HtmlFormatProvider.
