Summer NMS-Edit Changes

The Summer update adds an Uppercase Section Titles command to the project menu, which performs the same function as the context menu Uppercase Titles command, but acts on all editable sections in the project.

Changes in the Spring Update (for NMS-Edit and the Word Installer only)

This new NMS-Edit update contains extensive enhancements to the MS-Word export feature and to project printing. The Word export features are available when installing new Word sections as well!

For Word Export, choose a pre-defined page format such as the traditional NMS layout, or a wide-page format to match the sections you have converted from NMS format in the past using a macro. Or, choose to match the new PageFormat 2008 specification developed by Construction Specifications Canada. You can also design your own format by selecting a header layout, and bolding or underlining selected portions of the document. Add an End of Section line. Thousands of possibilities are available.

When printing an entire project, you may choose in the Print Section(s) dialog to generate a single file per division, or to include a list of contents for the project that has its page numbers updated to match your printer preferences. These feature are most useful when printing to PDF.

In System Preferences, the List and Tree Viewers tab contains switches that turn off and on the display of columns in the File List. Close and open a project to see the effect. As well, the new Printing tab has a selection that alters the format of CSC printed sections in a small way, so that the article title text is aligned with the '.1' paragraph number below it.

Summary

This download updates your NMS to include the sections published in June, 2008 and upgrades the NMS-Edit Professional specification editor to the 2.05.02 (or higher) version. The NMS Secretariat is publishing the NMS/DDN on a twice-a-year cycle rather than on a quarterly cycle. The next update will be dated December 31, 2008 and will be available in January of next year.

The update installs into your existing NMS2008, DDN2008 and/or NMSS2008 directories. If you have purchased NMS-Edit Professional it also updates your editor to the latest version.

This update contains only the files that have changed since December 31, 2007 and is not a full refresh of NMS sections. It builds upon the NMS2008 CD so if the CD version is not installed please re-install it before applying this update.

Please use the key that you received with your 2008 CD to install this update.
