Default In Word 2013, How Do I Create Multiple Dropboxes That Are Connected/Related?

I see how to insert a dropbox option in a form. I need assistance in creating a dropbox that, when selected, it limits the second dropbox with a certain number of options (no limit on the amount, though).

For example: Dropbox1 might display the following options: 123, 456, 789. I'd like to limit the options within Dropbox2 to whatever's selected in Dropbox1. If I select 123 in Dropbox1, then I might only want three options for Dropbox2 to appear: ABC, DEF, GHI. If I were to select 456 in Dropbox1, then I might only want four items to appear in Dropbox2: JKL, MNO, PQR, STU. And then maybe only one option for 789: VWX


A little different layout:

If selected in Dropbox1: 123
Dropbox2 options: ABC, DEF, GHI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If selected in Dropbox1: 456
Dropbox2 options: JKL, MNO, PQR, STU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If selected in Dropbox1: 789
Dropbox2 options: VWX


Hopefully that makes sense. I'm simply looking to limit what pulls up in a secondary dropbox based on what's selected in the primary dropbox.

Thanks!
