Can I create multiple groups of option buttons in 1 Word document
I am trying to create a Word document and want to use option buttons for the
user to select answers to questions, but when the user selects an option for the answer to question 2 Word clears the option selected for question 1. Can I group option buttons? |

Answer: Can I create multiple groups of option buttons in 1 Word document
Yes, you can definitely create multiple groups of option buttons in one Word document. This will allow the user to select an option for each question without clearing the selection for the previous question.
Here's how you can create multiple groups of option buttons in Word:
That's it! Now you have multiple groups of option buttons in your Word document, and the user can select an option for each question without clearing the selection for the previous question.

Can I create multiple groups of option buttons in 1 Word document
Radio buttons (option buttons) are by definition mutually exclusive. If you
want users to be able to select more than one option, you need to use a check box. And if you are distributing these documents to others, you want to use a check box form field from the Forms toolbar rather than any ActiveX controls from the Control Toolbox, as the latter will trigger a macro warning. -- Suzanne S.

Can I create multiple groups of option buttons in 1 Word docum
Thanks, but I understand that using check boxes allows me to select more than
one option. What I am trying to do is create a group with one question and its answers and a separate group with the next question and its answers, so that when the user selects the answer for question #2 it does not clear the answer for question #1.

Right-click on the option button, choose Properties, and type a Group Name
that is different for each group. -- Suzanne S.
