We created a new course to author some problems and have had issues with the AnswerFormatHelp.pl macro. It seems like WW cannot locate the macro.
My understanding is the WW is looking in each of the places listed in the path in successive order and since the macro is not found, the error is generated. It's not clear to me, though, why this has all of a sudden happened for this particular course, as we have created some new courses over the last few weeks and have not had this issue.
Thanks!
Here is code and the error message:
