Inserting Radio buttons in Word
Hi,
I created a form today with multiple questions and some of the questions need radio buttons as only one of the answers can be selected. Say for Eg. Question 1 has 4 answers out of which you can choose only one and question 2 has 3 answers out of which you can choose only one. What i did was to create a Option box using the control toolbar and then copied it over to 4 answers in Question 1 and also copied the same to 3 answers in Question 2. The radio button works fine for the answers in Question 1. Now, when i try selecting one of the answers for Question 2, it removes the choice made in Question 1 and keeps the radio button on my last choice. This is a problem since for each of these question, i need one radio button to be present. How do i fix this? Thanks & Regards Govind. |

Open the Properties dialog of any of the radio buttons. (You can get the
properties of each radio button by changing the value of the dropdown at the top of the dialog.) Put the same value (for example, Q1) in the GroupName property for all the radio buttons that belong to Question 1. Put a different value (for example, Q2) in GroupName for each of the buttons that belong to Question 2. Continue for the other questions. When you've set them all, close the Properties dialog and turn off Design Mode. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP "Govind" wrote in message ...

Put each group of radio buttons inside a frame.
