Blank Word Doc when including certain dependencies

[hecate-nick]

When I include certain project dependencies or references, saving a word document always produces a blank document.

There are no exceptions or logs, just a blank word document.

It seems like the culprit is DocumentFormat.OpenXml

Example Item Group in .csproj

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="IronWord" Version="2025.5.3" />
    <PackageReference Include="McMaster.Extensions.CommandLineUtils" Version="4.1.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection" Version="8.0.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ConfigurationExtensions" Version="8.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager" Version="8.0.0" />

    <!--Seems to cause blank Word Doc, remove reference and it works properly-->
    <PackageReference Include="DocumentFormat.OpenXml" Version="3.1.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
