Why change the Outlook form? It's Word that doesn't have option buttons fields. You can decide how you want to show the property value in the Word document -- either with checkbox fields or text fields.
Sorry, but I don't understand what the "this" in "show this" is.

I've never done it before either. I was wondering if it was even possible.
I guess I'll just have to change the Outlook form to use checkboxes instead
of radio buttons.
I apologize but I have another question. Now that I've got the script to
work, I'm having a problem with the oDoc.FormFields' appearing in the
printouts.
To better explain, I have written the code and what appears on the printed
form.
Code:
oDoc.FormFields("NewspaperOrMagazine").Result =
item.userproperties("Newspaper or Magazine")
Printed form:
[ ] Newspaper/Magazine: NewspaperOrMagazine
It doesn't show this in all the fields, just a few. I can't seem to figure
it out.

Thank you so much Sue. I will try using the value property.
And how would this work with a radio button? Would it be the same code but
"OptionButton" in place of "CheckBox"?

You should to set the check box's Value property explictly, and the expression you set it to must be a True/False expression:
oDoc.FormFields("FieldName").CheckBox.Value = item.userproperties("FieldName")

I created an OL form and used the Sub cmdPrint_Click code to print the form
data. I got the oDoc.FormFields ("FieldName").Result = item.userproperties
("FieldName") part working. However, I'm having trouble with the checkboxes
and radio buttons. I've tried using oDoc.FormFields("FieldName").CheckBox =
item.userproperties("FieldName") but it doesn't work. Maybe I'm missing
something or is there a different code that I need to use to transfer the
data to the Word template?
I hope someone has the answer to this. I've searched online and in Word and
Outlook books to no avail. Thank you!
