I'm creating a document in Word that has many questions with yes an no
answers. I have used the Control Toolbox and design mode to insert yes and no
option buttons. The problem I have is that as I add more questions and more
control buttons, these are all linked. I would like to group two of them, yes
and no in question one for example, so that subsequent answers don't affect
what has already been answered.

I think you can separate the objects by putting a frame around the ones that
you want to interact and only those within the frame will interact with each
other.

The answer below relates specifically to controls on a USERFORM.  I
think that you are using document form controls. In this case I think
(working from memory here) you may be able to specify a group name for
related controls.  this way for example you can specify a group name
of "group1" for the first Yes/No pair, "group2" etc.  this also works
for multiple option (radio) buttons eg. Yes/No/maybe/Possibly/Never"
etc.

BTW the group name property also works with option buttons on a
userform.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
