How said:
I'm trying to create some forms in Word 2003 that will allow only one
selection among several choices, e.g. Very Good, Good, Bad, Worse.
But Word 2003 toolbar does not support radio button.
What I've tried is check boxes with Form protection, but it allows
multiple choices.
Any good idea to solve my problem?
One solution is to use check boxes together with a macro that makes sure
there's only one checked, such as the solution at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/ExclusiveFmFldChbxs.htm.
Another solution, probably better, is to use a dropdown form field. In the
field's Properties dialog, add the three (or more) choices to the list; the
very nature of a dropdown ensures that only one value can be selected at a
time.
Finally, you can use ActiveX radio buttons from the Control Toolbox. In
order to make a group that behaves the way you want, open the Properties
dialog of each radio button in the group and enter the same value in the
GroupName property. To make another group, give those radio buttons a
different value of GroupName.
