After the radio buttons are created and grouped, how do I set them up so that I can select one or none?

is there any way to customize radio button with numbers. (like numbers in the radio button).

Please do email if solution is there.

In this case, a text form field or text box would be what you are looking for. It would allow the user to input a number as the response.

I have Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 and it does not have the Group feature mentioned above. In the properties of the radial button, I only see GrammarChecked to GridSpaceBetweenVerticalLines. Let me know if I needed a different version of Microsoft Office or try the Kutools mentioned above. You would think that Microsoft Office has the group radial buttons already.
