Word Addin: Return Focus to Document Body after Interaction with Taskpane #4665

Closed pki89 closed 1 month ago

pki89 commented 1 month ago

Hi,

would be really great to have a way to return user focus back to the word document after user has interacted with the taskpane. Currently, user has to click in the document body again in order to continue their work (e.g. typing) in the document. This heavily impairs UX.

Also relates to this https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/316 (which appears still not to be fixed).

Thanks a lot.

The issue is, that the user interacts with the taskpane, i.a by clicking some button, which e.g. insert a string into the word doc user would the expect to be able to immediately resume their work in the word doc by continuing their typing. That is not the case, as the user first has to click the document body again to havethe focus/cursor there again.

Would be great to allow devs to choose to force refocus to the document

Thanks a lot
