I can see that the option button is round in MS word (active x control). I would like to create the option button in checkbox style or the checkboxes in option button style. To be clear, let assume I have Yes and No option and I want an user can select either Yes or No but that will be checkbox style instead round radio button. I can see this can be accomplished in pdf but I can't see a way in MS word Active X control.
Is there any way to accomplish this in MS word?

ActiveX radio-button controls will always be a dot style. ActiveX checkbox controls will always be a tick. If you want different controls, you need to look at a 3rd party controls library. You can't edit the visual look of the ActiveX controls, only the behaviour of them.
If you must use a checkbox, bind unticked as 0 and ticked as 1.
e.g. a form where the question is
Have you read the terms & conditions
Unticked means no, they have not.
