Use the first 4 characters of the bookmark name to identify a "Group", then use the rest of the name to identify the button uniquely - e.g. Select each macrobutton field in turn, and insert a bookmark.
Where O and X are the same characters as you use in the MACROBUTTON fields. it's an experiment.Īs an experiment, insert some text form fields in a document.įor each radio button, insert a field like this:
I haven't used this in a real-world project, i.e. The buttons do not appear as normal form fields so the user has to click them rather than tabe to them (or double-click, depending on their settings). The only way I have managed to do it is to use MACROBUTTON fields some bookmarks, and a piece of VBA. But the problem is that when you click a checkbox, the exit macro is not necessarily called, so you get a situation where more than one checkbox in a "group" can be checked, i.e. In the past I have tried to make checkboxes work more like radio buttons, by using the Exit macro to check the state and modify all the boxes in a "group". Possibly the easiest way to get radio buttons on Mac would be to construct your form using a VBA Userform instead of an "Online Form" in the surface of the document. There are radio buttons in the HTML FOrms feature on Mac Word (see the Insert->HTML Object menu) but I don't know enough about them to help, recommend, or recommend you to stay clear of them.

The problem is that the radio buttons in Windows Word are ActiveX controls that do not exist on Mac Word.
