    There is no such thing as an "option button".

    Actually there is, Scott.  In the image below the Option Group control is the first on the left, and the Option Button control is fourth from the right.

    Ken is right that you can add a stand-alone Option button. I assumed, probably incorrectly, that when you mentioned trying to convert a textbox control to a radio button control, the field to which it is bound would be a text field.

    If the field to which the radio button control is a boolean, or Yes/No, field, then you can insert the radio button control bound to it.
