You can set save preferences — such as whether to be prompted before saving a file — in the Options dialog box. By default, the Text editor saves all changed files before building an application. The following table lists the save preferences.
| Save Option | Description |
| Save before running tools | Saves files before you build a project or run a build utility such as NMAKE. |
| Prompt before saving files | Confirms (with a dialog box prompt) that you want to save files. |
| Automatic reload of externally modified files | Automatically reloads externally modified files that have been loaded (but not yet changed) by the editor. |
To change the save options
From the Tools menu, choose Options.
Select the Editor tab.
