Using a VB Macro with Word - Possible with radio buttons?

"What is this", you ask??!! A 'Word' question in a VB forum?? Well... I was looking for a Word forum... and couldn't find any good ones.. and then I thought.. you guys have always helped me with every VB question.. and been right on, and since you're all programmers, you generally seem to understand this stuff better anyway.. so here's my question.

Is it possible to create a Word document and have option buttons utilized? I've managed to create a Word doc and insert option buttons by copying and pasting from Front Page. I then Protect the doc and the controls are enabled and work great. But if you save, exit the document and open it again, the controls no longer work. I cannot find one example of a document that utilizes option buttons on the Internet(which is hard to believe since it's a MS product), so maybe this isn't possible?
Perhaps it would be possible with the use of a VB Macro of some sort interacting with the Word document?
This is my challenge to you. :) A Word doc.. with 3 radio buttons.. that works.
Much thx!
