Displaying the label of the selected Option Button
Hi, in Word 2003, how can I display elesewhere in the doc the label
associated with the radio/option button that the user has selected? Has this something to do with Fields? I can't seem to work out how to do it. Any thoughts please? |

Displaying the label of the selected Option Button
Can I suggest that you don't use activex controls in a document. They are
primarily intended for web page creation. Use instead check boxes - which can emulate the action of radio buttons with the aid of macros. - http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...FmFldChbxs.htm However to answer the question asked, radio buttons work in groups. In the case of two radio buttons with default names you can display that name with a docvariable field - here {Docvariable varBtn} - and you can set the value of that variable by using the macro code associated with the option button eg Option Explicit Private oVars As Variables Private Sub OptionButton1_Click() Set oVars = ActiveDocument.Variables If OptionButton1.Value = True Then oVars("varBtn").Value = "OptionButton1 selected" End If ActiveDocument.Fields.Update End Sub Private Sub OptionButton2_Click() Set oVars = ActiveDocument.Variables If OptionButton2.Value = True Then oVars("varBtn").Value = "OptionButton2 selected" End If ActiveDocument.Fields.Update End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Jeff Parker" wrote in message ...
