Multiple sets of Option Buttons

K

Keith Midgette

I have inserted what I thought were several different
sets of option buttons into an MSWord Form. (Groups of 3
different option buttons appear on different pages to
allow the person completing the form to select between
the 3 given options.) Unfortunately, MS Word thinks all
9 option buttons are related giving the user only the
option of selecting one of the 9 radio buttons. How do I
group these option buttons into 3 different sets of 3
choices? This is driving me crazy...I have checked all
the Word help and Microsoft online help. Seems to be
simple..but I am missing something. Help!!!!

Hi Keith

In the Properties dialogs of the option buttons, enter the same value
in the GroupName property for the first three, a different value for
the second three, and yet another value for the third three. It
doesn't matter much what values you choose, so you might as well make
them descriptive. Hint: since all the buttons are already in the
document, you can use the dropdown at the top of the Properties dialog
to visit each one in turn.
