Thanks for the reply...
unfortunately I am not very competent with vba. I tried to just copy/paste the code and change the titles(in bold from your code below) I am not sure what the lines below it are doing... I am trying to get some help internally but not much experience there either. I am not clear on what the lines in red are doing(which is most of the code)

If ContentControl.Title = "Period" Then
ContentControl.DropdownListEntries.Clear
For i = 1 To .ContentControls.Count
If Left(.ContentControls(i).Title, 4) = "Time" Then
j = j + 1
ContentControl.DropdownListEntries.Add Text:=j & " - " & .ContentControls(i).Range.Text
