The December, 2014 NMS update contains 31 updated sections. Most updated sections are part of the Architectural Package in divisions 7 (Thermal and Moisture Protection), 9 (Finishes) and 10 (Specialties).
Remember, the NMS Installer for Word allows you to select a font for the installed Word sections, along with a page format, either the CSC wide-page format or the government two-column format. When using Microsoft Word, copy into your Word Startup folder the Wordmac.dot macro file that is installed with the update.

This release includes a version of the section editor that is compatible with 64-bit Windows. This version is selected by default. To use the legacy section editor instead, under Edit... Preferences, choose 'Legacy' in the Project tab.
Some features of the new section editor are still under development and will be released later this year, specifically the section Font command, and a new Table creation command.
Released previously, a new radio button in 'Project... Properties... Paragraph Formatting' permits selecting the page format, 2-column (NMS) or wide-page (CSC), for all sections of the project at once. This avoids having to change the format of sections one at a time in the section editor.
