Description

I use lyx, which makes some things hard to track down. I had to export to latex to figure this one out.

I have some input files with the questions. I get page 1 blank except for marks when the tex looks like this:

\usepackage[box,separateanswersheet,automarks]{automultiplechoice}
\begin{document}
\noindent \input{/.../Exam2/Exam2Questions1.tex}
\onecopy{1}{
\input{/.../Exam2TitlepageRev1.tex}

If I remove the \noindent before the \input, the blank page and marks go away.

Can you provide a minimal source file, along with a minimal Exam2Questions1.tex and Exam2TitlepageRev1.tex that show the problem?

In the zip file find NoindentBug.tex and WithoutBug.tex. NoindentBug has the \noindent with \input, WithoutBut does not.

Thanks. It seems that it comes from the \vspace{-12bp} command at the beginning of the Exam2/Exam2Questions1.tex file: it should be placed before the \noindent (or elsewhere).
