How do I create an option button?
 

I've searched through Excel Help, and read the various posts to the
discussion group about this, but I obviously don't know as much as I thought
I did about Excel. In most of the posts, the user has already created option
buttons and needs help with formatting them.

I have a spreadsheet on which there are some columns in which I simply wish
to answer Yes or No. How do I create what I think are called option buttons,
so all I have to do is click on a drop down list that gives me a Yes or No
option, rather than typing either Yes or No manually? Thanks for any help
you can give me.

If you want a dropdown, try Data|Validation.

You can find lots of tips for Data|Validation at Debra Dalgleish's site:

You could employ Data Validation Drop-downs with Yes or No as the only options.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for DV basics.
