Default Option Buttons in a Form

I am a beginner in Excel, so don't get mad if my questions are rather basic.
I've searched through previous posts, but I haven't been able to find answers
to these questions.

I'm trying to create a form in Excel with 42 yes/no questions. I used pairs
of Option Buttons from the Forms toolbar for each question. I have placed a
group box around each pair and I have used Ctrl-Click and then Group to group
each pair into a group box. The buttons seem to work OK, so I'm feeling
pretty good so far.

Here are my questions:

1. Is there a way to get rid of the lines and labels on the group boxes?
I've tried Format Object - Colors and Lines, and I've tried No Line and I've
tried a white line, but they still have a line around them. How do you get
rid of the lines?

2. Is there a way to make the group boxes exactly the same size so I can
align my buttons evenly? My group boxes don't snap to a grid, and I have to
draw each one by hand, so they're all a little different, and the buttons are
aligned within each box a little different. I've tried copying and pasting a
box, but the pasted box has the same number as the original.

3. Is there a way to unselect a button if I accidentally click on it? I
want the default value of all of them to be unclicked when the user opens the
form, but if I accidentally click one, it seems to be clicked forever.

4. Is there any way to set the font or font size on the labels for the
buttons?

I'm using Windows XP Professional with Office 2003.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Fred
