The template I am struggling to create will have a series of questions others
will answer. For each question, they will choose from 1-26. I thought option
buttons would work so they would be forced to choose only one response.

Would appreciate help with the following:

The template does not recognize each "row" of options buttons as separate.
Instead, all the buttons are connected. How do I separate this?

Secondly, the option buttons are visually smaller than I would like. It
would be great to be able to use check boxes, but there would need to be a
response permitted for each separate question.

I read an article that discussed choosing format + frame to be able to do
this, but I do not know how to choose the 2 (I can find the frame, but not
the format aspect).

I have to complete these templates before I go back to work tomorrow, and am
feeling stressed at my lack of progress despite hours of reading about how to
do these things. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Please note
that this must be done in Word.

If you are actually using Option Buttons (from the Control Toolbox), then
right-click on each button, choose Properties, and enter a GroupName. If
you're using Check Box Form Fields (from the Forms toolbar), then you'll
need to see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...FmFldChbxs.htm.
Either solution requires VBA, so it will require that your users install the
template in one of the "trusted" locations so that the macros will be
enabled without question.

This works! Thanks, Suzanne. Too bad I can't "grab" a row of Option Buttons
and change them all at once, but at least I can make the template do what I
need it to do!
