It needs to be the same in both. Word automatically assigns names like Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc., so you can use those in the VBA.
Yes I right-click on the Legacy Drop-down so that I can add the items/choices. But after setting it all up including the bookmark, I am only seeing the first option I have entered and the rest can't be seen because there is no drop-down arrow.

That's because there isn't one. A formfield only ever has the bookmark you (or Word) give it - you can't choose an existing bookmark that's been assigned somewhere else.

But how do I make it as a drop-down list when it won't show the options I'll be providing? This is not the content control I am using but the one from the Legacy Tools.

This is what I have--the N/R is the one from the Legacy Tools and still has 2 more options and the Choose an item is a content control. The arrow beside it is what I am not seeing in the Legacy drop-down to show the options.
