Option buttons "NGReader" <Cal[ at ]offfgeigorg> 12/15/2008 8:09:58 PM Using word 2003, I'm creating a form and I would like to use option buttons in the form. I have 5 sets of option buttons problem is, when I select a button in any subsequent set, the button I selected in the previous set turns off (i.e. I can only have one button on at any given moment.) Any advise Thanx Craig
