Cutting, Copying, Pasting, and Deleting Information in a MARC Record
When you want to move, copy, or delete information in a MARC record, you first choose the information by highlighting it. You can choose parts of a MARC record in these ways:
|
•
|
By dragging the mouse pointer over the portion that you want. |
|
•
|
By right‑clicking on a tag or subfield and choosing from the pop‑up screen. |
|
•
|
By clicking on a tag or subfield and using the Edit drop‑down menu to display selection choices. |
|
•
|
By using TAB, Shift+TAB, and the arrow keys to move around the record, and highlighting information using SHIFT+any arrow key. |
The MARC Editor follows these conventions when you cut and paste subfield information:
|
•
|
When only subfield text is selected for deletion, the paste is a simple text replacement and the pasted text replaces the selected text. |
|
•
|
When the text selected for deletion includes the subfield ID and part (but not all) of the subfield text, the deletion leaves the paste point in the subfield ID. Then Horizon uses the first character of the text that you paste as the new subfield ID and discards the rest of the material. |
|
•
|
If all of the subfield text and the subfield ID are selected for deletion and the subfield being deleted is the only subfield in the tag, the deletion leaves a tag with no subfields. Horizon inserts a new subfield with no ID and pastes the subfield data text. |
Once you choose the information that you want, you can use standard Windows delete, cut, copy, and paste commands to move the information. (You can also right‑click on a tag or subfield, or use the Edit drop‑down menu, and then choose to copy or delete information.) Your system administrator can control whether you have the rights to edit or delete information in subfields and tags.
