You can add radio buttons (also called "option buttons") from the Control
Toolbox toolbar. These are ActiveX controls.
Before you start down this path, read
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ffice.10).aspx,
especially the section titled "Appropriateness for the Task".
If you find that these controls are not appropriate, two alternatives a
- Create a UserForm and put the option buttons on it; these are Forms
controls that don't have many of the drawbacks of ActiveX controls. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm. However, a
UserForm is like a dialog, so it can't be printed as part of the document.
- Use check boxes from the Forms toolbar, together with the macro from
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...FmFldChbxs.htm to make
them behave like option buttons. However, they can't be made to look like
option buttons, and they also require the document to be protected for
forms, which has other -- possibly undesirable -- effects.
