Control fonts in Form radio button and enter values in combo box

[Susan L]

I am designing a form with a number of radio buttons. Some are turning out to
have bold type, some are 11 point (the size used in the original table) and
some are 12. I don't see a way in the Properties list to change the
size/weight of the type and don't know how I got the variations.

Second question is how to enter values in an ActiveX combo box. Does this
need to be done in code?

I am designing a form with a number of radio buttons. Some are
turning out to have bold type, some are 11 point (the size used in
the original table) and some are 12. I don't see a way in the
Properties list to change the size/weight of the type and don't know
how I got the variations.

In the Properties list, select the Font property. A small button appears at
the far right, and clicking that will open a dialog for selecting the font
and its size and weight.

Second question is how to enter values in an ActiveX combo box. Does
this need to be done in code?

Yes, it does. And, since the list of values isn't stored in the control, the
same code has to be executed from the Document_New() and Document_Open()
procedures to reload the control every time a new document is created or an
existing document is reopened. Further, if you want an existing document to
reopen with any previously selected value already selected, that value will
have to be stored before/during a save (best to use a document variable for
this) and reselected after the list is reloaded.

There's some sample code in the article
