To add a subfield to a tag, position your cursor in the tag and click the Insert

subfield button, or select Subfield | Insert Subfield. The Insert Subfield dialog

lists all of that tag's repeatable (R) subfields and all the unused nonrepeatable

(NR) subfields:

Either type the subfield code 

in the text box and click Insert

or doubleclick on the subfield.

If you're not sure of the

subfield code, use the

scroll bar to look for

the subfield you want.

Note: 

 Depending on your cursor's position, you may receive a message asking

you to confirm the placement of the subfield.

If you inserted a subfield in the wrong place, you can always delete it. Likewise,

if the data in a subfield becomes unnecessary, you can delete the subfield.

However, if there is only one subfield left in a tag, the only way to delete it is by

deleting the tag (unless the tag is required; see page 267).

Don't bother deleting unused subfields. When you save the record, unused

subfields don't take up any extra space, and any subfields that you added but

didn't use are removed. Besides, if a subfield is a default selection for the

template, it always appears when you open the record in the MARC Editor.

To delete a subfield, place the cursor in the subfield and click Delete subfield, or

choose Subfield | Delete Subfield, and then confirm your decision.

Working with subfield data 

You modify subfield data just as you would the text in any document. Simply

place your cursor in the subfield and type your changes. The MARC Editor

automatically wraps the text within a subfield.

Note: 

 When you edit data, all of the common textediting commands are

available from the Edit menu, including an Undo command for your last

editing action. You can only select the contents of one subfield at a time. If

you try to paste in more text than the tag can hold (see the record size limit

table on page 266), a message appears and the excess is truncated.
