In Windows, if you have the MARC (*.mrc) filetype associated with MarcEdit, you can right-click on a MARC file from the file explorer and select, "Preview MARC file." This will open it up in mnemonic format.

If it's not associated, you can do so through the control panel. In Win 7, the steps are:

Control panel --> Default programs -- Associate a file type... --> Scroll down and select .mrc, then double click on it and select MarcEdit from "Recommended programs". (Or, browse for the Marcedit exe.)

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] how to open in mnemonic format

I’m pretty new to MarcEdit and very well may have missed something obvious.

If I export a set of records from Connexion and open it in MarcEditor, it is in raw MARC format, not a format the program can work with. If I open it in RDA Helper, it is in mnemonic format. Then I can save it in that format and use other program features with it. I'm doing a project that involves a lot of batches, and I'd like to be able to open the file in MarcEditor, run a task that includes RDA Helper, compile into MARC, and import into Connexion. I've managed to put almost all the steps I want to do within MarcEdit into a task, except that to get to that task, I need to be in MarcEditor but the file needs to be in mnemonic format. To get it there, I need to open it in RDA Helper. But RDA Helper is available as something that can be added to a task.

How can I get a file into mnemonic format but in MarcEditor, so that I can run my task? The fewest possible steps, please.
