Thanks for the suggestion - I just checked under Tools -->
Preferences, and the Preview mode is not checked.  Any other ideas
what might be happening?  (I've noticed the computer I'm working on
today is being tempermental on other apps as well and is running very
slow, and MarcEdit keeps crashing, so now wondering if it's just
that...)
