When you use Visual Studio to create a project, it inherits certain directories from the default build environment. Many of these directories are given as macros. To examine the current value of a macro, in the right pane of the **VC++ Directories** page, select a property such as **Include Directories** then choose the down-arrow button on the right, and then choose **Edit**. In the dialog box that appears, choose the **Macros>>** button. The dialog expands to show the available macros and their current values. For more information, see [Working with Project Properties](../ide/working-with-project-properties.md).
