In Word, is it possible to set checkboxes to behave like option buttons ?
That is, say, if there are 5 checkboxes in some kind of a group and 1 box is
checked, the other 4 should be unchecked automatically.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve

With form field checkboxes, and the support of Enter/Exit macros, yes, you
can achieve this effect. I think you'll find the basics of the approach at
word.mvps.org.

I suppose the something similar could be done with ActiveX checkboxes, but I
don't like using ActiveX controls unless I can absolutely help it, so I've
never worked it out.
