Option button grouping

[Steve Eklund]

In a Word 2007 macro-enabled form using ActiveX controls, how do I create a
group of option buttons so that the form user can select only one of the
group -- i.e., like option or "radio" buttons work on a web form? Adding
them to a "Group" doesn't seem to do it. Can this be done entirely within
Word, without resorting to writing VBA code?

Open the Properties dialog for each option button in turn. Those that should
behave as a group must all be given the same value of the GroupName property.
Those that are given different values of GroupName will form separate groups.
