I have inserted what I thought were several different
sets of option buttons into an MSWord Form. (Groups of 3
different option buttons appear on different pages to
allow a complete of the form to select between the 3
given options.) Unfortunately, MS Word thinks all 9
option buttons are related giving the user only the
option of selecting one of the 9 radio buttons. How do I
group these option buttons into 3 different sets of 3
choices? This is driving me crazy...I have checked all
the Word help and Microsoft online help. Seems to be
simple..but I am missing something. Help!!!!

Put each group inside a frame.

Hi Keith,

Go into the "Properties" for each button. Assign GroupName:
one for each group you want to have. (IOW, one GroupName for
the three buttons on page 1, a different GroupName for the
three on page 2, etc.)
