Thank you so much. I am so lost with completing this document.
There is no automated way to convert content control dropdowns to legacy formfield dropdowns. I'm sure someone could come up with a vba method for doing this but it would not be a minor undertaking. If you have hundreds of them, you might want to pay someone (else) to do this. I would not attempt it and expect it would not be cheap. Otherwise, you will need to create new (legacy) formfield dropdowns and delete the existing (content control) ones.

Greg Maxey's Add-In for legacy form fields can be useful. Add Classic FormField Controls to Ribbon
