Hi. Am I correct in thinking that radio buttons cannot be resized? If so, is there a workaround ? I'm using a data-entry form with a document set as the background image. I'd like to have (or somehow mimic, if I have to) the large radio buttons that appear on the document. Is there some way to achieve this ? TIA

use a Textbox control.
you look for the "checkmark" character in character map to put in the
textbox to mark it.

Neither radio buttons nor standard checkboxes can be resized
The workround as suggested by @arnelgp is to use a textbox control with a suitable character to imitate a radio button as shown below

For the empty/filled radio buttons (and the checkboxes),, I'm using selected characters from the Wingdings2 font

I did it with wingdings first:-
