Text copied into HTML Creator box from MS Word when creating an assessment question may generate errors for students.	Don't copy/paste text from MS Word, only from Notepad or Word pad. See more info in HTML Creator page.		4/22/09
~~Assessments that had question point values that included decimals, may have had the decimals rounded when course moved from Summer Server (v4.2.3) to Fall Server (v8.0.1).~~	~~Workaround is export the tests indivudually from the Summer course, and use the Import from Manage Course in the Fall course. The decimal point values remain this way.~~		~~10-14-08~~	fixed with SP 2 & 3 applied 8/22/09
Date fields do no let you enter "08" for the year. Example: If you type in 10/1/08, Bb changes it to read 10/1/0008. This happens in date fields in the Assignments and Assessments area.	Type in the year using all four digits. So for 2008, type in 2008 rather than 08.		9-23-08	VST-4112 This issue has been recognized as an official bug, and will be resolved in a future hotfix/service pack.
The "no print" code for assessments takes up almost the entire allotment of characters spaces allowed in the Custom Instructions area.	Currently looking for a shorter "no print" code that you can use.		9-15-2008	Pending until we find another code.
In Edit properites for Start/End times: By clicking on the clock and choosing "Midnight" it adds 24 hours to the date/time.	Instead of choosing "Midnight" from the clock icon for Start or End time, type in 12:00 AM.		9-9-08	VST-3500 Bb added to their 8.0.1 bug list.
You can not "reorder" assessments if they are set to "hidden".	If you "unhide" the assessments, you can then reorder them.		8-15-08	Bb added to their 8.0.1 bug list.
You can not reorder assessments even when they are not set to hidden.				Bb added to their 8.0.1 bug list.
