Ignore ctrl key in another process while using SendKeys.Send.

Question

I'm trying to use the SendKeys.Send method to an external text editor, now let's say for example I do SendKeys.Send("S") while focused on MS Word it works fine and inserts the S, but if I use that same command while the ctrl key is held down, it brings up the save dialog instead, is there a way to have MS Word or which ever process is focused ignore the ctrl key or any other key for that matter? Any help will be appreciated.
