option button value in word form

Hi
I have a word form and would like to insert some option button(radio button) in the form and retrieve the value
After the form is designed and locked(protect form), the user is unable to select/deselect the radio button. It becomes read only, where as other form elements like textbox or checkbox are allowed to be edited
How can I enable the radio buttons so that the user can use it as a form element

Thanks in advance
Sangeeta
 
It would appear that you are using a mixture of formfields and ActiveX
controls on your form. The two don't really mix.

See the article “Making groups of Check Box Form Fields mutually exclusive
(so that they behave like radio buttons) “ at:

Sangeeta, did you get your problem fixed? Did you change and use the boxes. I am having the same problem with option buttons on a form template that I want protected, but using the Protection Forms option keeps you from using the option buttons.
