We have our own tab on Save As stage of office applications.
question is how to go back to document when our Save As was finished.

thank you

Hello David,

Make sure the Backstage button you click to perform the action has IsDefinitive=true.

additional question, what if I need to control of Backstage by myself:
I need to stay on backstage screen while our Save As process is not finished (i.e. block access to document).
Only after all out processing will finish we need to back to Document. So, how do I trigger "back to document"?

thank you for help, D.

Hello David,

No such way exists in the Outlook object model. You can dry to use SendKeys to send it an {Esc}.

According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys.send(v=vs.110).aspx, that method sends the specified key(s) to the active application.

The article doesn't mention "window".

You invoke the SendKeys method as follows:

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys({key(s) here})

The description of this method is: "Sends keystrokes to the active application."
