In the Properties page of each option button, enter a value for the
GroupName property. All the buttons that share the same value will
operate as a group; other buttons that share a different value will be
unaffected by the first group.

Here's a reference article for the items on the Control Toolbox:

Effectively Using ActiveX Form Controls in Microsoft Word

"How to write code" is much too broad a topic to tackle here. Is there
something specific you want to start with?

Are we talking about a document form, or an UserForm (custom dialog box)? Could
you please describe how the form should be used (protected, or freely edited)?
Which version of Word?

The basic info on how to write code is the Word VBA Help files (Alt+F11 to open
the VB Editor, then from the Help menu). There are books out there, websites
(such as word.mvps.org), the word.vba newsgroups... If you've never written any
code before in your life, then it would probably be best to start with a book
that covers the basics, as well as the application in which you're interested
