I need to create a form in which people can either fill in the blank or check
a box.

I doubt everyone who will use the form will have the same version of Word -
and don't know if they'll all have ActiveX.

I also don't know anything about macros.

I have the developer on my tool bar, but can't figure out how to add data
after inserting a radio button - (which might not be a good idea if people
won't have ActiveX???)

Can anyone give me some advice?

many thanks!

Note that ActiveX controls are not the best approach to forms in Word; for
one thing, they are likely to trigger Word's macro security feature, forcing
the document into Design mode.

It will be more appropriate to make use of form fields. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/LinesInForms.htm and especially the
forms tutorial that the article links to.
