Handling PowerPoint Save and SaveAs
<p>It appears based on the few things I've found online that I need to rebuild PowerPoint's SaveAs backstage tab just so that I can find out if the user is trying to execute a SaveAs as opposed to a normal Save operation since PowerPoint events do not provide this information like Excel and Word does.  </p>

<p>I've gone through the following articles. </p>

<p>I have successfully removed the SaveAs Tab (TabSave) and replace it with my own button to trigger a SaveAs. Unfortunately by doing so I lose the other features on the SaveAs tab, such as saving to One Drive and Office 365 SharePoint which will annoy our customers. </p>

<p>Therefore, I've attempted to build the Tab again with no luck as the aforementioned stackoverflow articles suggest and I'm running into problems. I'm beginning to think it's not really possible. Am I on the right track? My ONLY objective here is to intercept SaveAs operations and be able to tell that it was a "SaveAs" and not a normal "Save".</p>

<p>Has anyone successfully done this? Is it even possible? If so, would you care to share your Custom UI XML?</p>
