Default 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.

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?
