Microsoft Word 2016 - Link Radio buttons to activate check boxes and/or highlight as well.

Morning,

I have been tasked with somehow linking a group that contains radio buttons (4) that when selected marks check boxes below. Is this possible? Is VBA needed to accomplish this? if so, how?

This is the form. Can i select a radio button and populate check boxes automatically?

Basically in the ThisDocument module add code similar to this:

Code:

Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
   If OptionButton1 Then
     CheckBox2 = True
     CheckBox4 = True
     CheckBox1 = False
     CheckBox3 = False
   End If
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click()
   If OptionButton2 Then
     CheckBox2 = False
     CheckBox4 = False
     CheckBox1 = True
     CheckBox3 = True
   End If
End Sub

Thank you! If i go into VB and paste this under "ThisDocument" how do i link the radio buttons? Do i have to recreate them like a MACRO?

Since the only possible radio buttons in Word document are activeX controls, you just need to make sure you have two ActiveX option buttons named OptionButton1 and OptionButton2.

Of course, the best thing is to revise the code to reflect the activeX controls you already have in the document.
