General ⇒ numbering problem w/ eqexam package

[mathchick]

I just found a great package to use for writing exams...eqexam. However, when I try to use it, I have a numbering problem. For example on the true/false, I get "(1(a))" instead of "(a)". I have no idea why since I copied the code directly from the documentation that goes with the package. I'd leave it has it is, but it's really messing with the alignment of the problems.

There is my code:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[forpaper,pointsonboth,useforms,nosolutions]{eqexam}
\title[T1]{Test 1}
\author{Professor}
\subject{History}
\date{Spring 2011}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{exam}{Part 1}
\begin{problem*}[4ea]
\textit{True} or \textit{False}.
\begin{parts}
\item \TF{F} Thomas Jefferson was the second president of the United States.
\item \TF{T} John Adams was the first vice-president of the United States.
\end{parts}
\end{problem*}
\end{exam}
\end{document}

Thanks for the help.

I couldn't get your example to compile unless I put a blank line after \maketitle. Also, according to the documentation, the required argument to \begin{exam} in braces can not have any spaces in it, while the optional first argument in brackets can. So using these changes

Code: Select all

\maketitle

\begin{exam}[Part 1]{Part1}

I was able to get the example to compile and it gave me (a) and (b) for the True/False items.

Thanks for the help. Turns out I needed to update the package.
