How do I put radio (option) buttons into a form in Word?

[Guest]

I want to add buttons to Word that only have one option, i.e. "yes" or "no"
options. Radio buttons used to exist but I can't find them in Windows 2000 -
can anyone help? Thanks.

If your question needs only a yes/no answer, the preferred control is a
check box. There is a check box on the Forms toolbar, or you can use any of
several other kinds of check boxes -- see
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/add_check_boxes.htm.

If you're determined to use radio buttons anyway, they're on the Control
Toolbox toolbar; see

for how to use them.
