how to set default option button using index num

Topic

New Reply

Within a frame I have many option buttons.
Does Word store option buttons with a next sequential value.
for example command buttons have next sequential number as per their order
-1
0
1
2

Given an index number I would like to use that to set option button as default button.
eg
passed index = 3

therefore
frameName = optionbutton(3) = default

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Diana,

Each option button has a name. Go into design mode (the set square icon on the control toolbar) and right click on the option button; select “properties” to see the name

In VBA, you fake an array by naming the controls consistently (i.e., Option1, Option2, Option3) and then loop through the controls collection testing for control names where the left however many characters of the name equals the fake array base name, in this case “Option”. When you find one, you do whatever you want to do for each of that group of controls.
