In this lesson, without the need for any VBA code, you will master the correct use of Excel's Group Box and Option Button (Radio Button) form controls. You'll design a professionalgrade, realworld business form and insert perfectly sized, spaced and aligned Option Button controls.

Along the way you'll learn the difference between Form Controls and ActiveX Controls and will learn to autosize, autoalign and autospace controls to give your forms a truly professional appearance.

As with all video lessons from The Smart Method®, there's a sample file download link at the beginning of the video to enable you to work along with the lesson.
