Windows folder.
SUMMARY
=======
When you work with HTML documents, you will receive a prompt to either save your
document when changes have been made since the document was last saved, or
remind you to refresh your picture after you edit it in an image editor.
This article describes the following:
- The action required to show the save or refresh prompt.
- The message text of each of the prompts.
- How to disable (turn off) each of the prompts.
- How to re-enable (turn back on) each of the prompts.
MORE INFORMATION
================
NOTE: This information applies only to the AutoUpdate version of the Web
Authoring Tools. In the version of the Web Authoring Tools that shipped with
Word 97, the View and Exit HTML Source and Web Page Preview prompts cannot be
disabled and the prompt for editing pictures does not exist because pictures
cannot be edited.
Actions and Resulting Messages
------------------------------
The following lists the action required to show the prompt along with the text of
the prompt:
- On the View menu, you click HTML Source.
Do you want to save the changes you made to <filename.html> before
viewing HTML source?
- While in HTML Source view, on the View menu, you click Exit HTML Source.
Do you want to save the changes you made to <filename.html> before
exiting from HTML source view?
- On the File menu, you click Web Page Preview.
Do you want to save the changes you made to <filename.html> before
previewing in a Web browser?
- You double-click to edit a Picture.
Click OK to edit this picture in your image editor.
Changes you make to this picture will not immediately appear in your Word
document. After closing your image editor, right-click the picture in Word
and choose "Refresh Picture".
NOTE: You will not receive this prompt until you have saved your HTML document
after inserting the picture. If you edit the picture before saving your HTML
document, you will not receive this prompt.
How to Disable (Turn Off) Each Prompt
-------------------------------------
With each prompt, you have the option to clear a check box that that will disable
(turn off) the prompt.
- When viewing or exiting HTML Source:
Always ask before saving changes when viewing HTML source or exiting from
HTML source view.
NOTE: When you turn off this prompt, your changes will be saved automatically
and you will not be prompted to save the changes.

Always ask before saving changes.

reflected in the picture in your HTML document. You will still need to
Refresh your picture after you exit from your image editor. When you make
changes to your picture in your image editor, your image editor will still
prompt to save the changes you made.
How to Re-Enable (Turn On) Each Prompt
