Can someone help me out? Normally when I use the MarcEditor to open an .mrc file (File --> Open), the human-readable version is created on the fly, i.e. what opens in the window is formatted for human viewing:

=LDR  00909nam  22001931a 4500

But recently, in working with .mrc files returned from Backstage Library Works as part of our authority processing workflow, when using the same procedure (File --> Open) I get raw MARC:

What gives?

Thanks,

Jeff
