Can I create multiple groups of option buttons in 1 Word document

[Guest]

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?

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.

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.

Thanks. After digging around for a I while at different options that I
thought I might have, I figured it out. Thanks for your suggestions.
