In the first dropdown, there are only be two variables: 150.7 and 185

If 150.7 is selected, I want the other dropdown to read 1.077
If 185 is selected, I need the other dropdown to read 1.044

I have set the first dropdown with the display name as 150.7 and the value as 1.077, but can't figure out adjusting the code below to not need the Replace part.

You could leave the line:
StrDetails = Replace(.DropdownListEntries(i).Value, "|", Chr(11))
as is and not have any | separators, or change it to:
StrDetails = .DropdownListEntries(i).Value

Later in the same thread (https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post68709) there is advice on how to reference a content control via its title rather than its index #. If you really want to know the index #, select the content control and run:

Code:

Sub GetIndex()
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Range(0, Selection.Range.End).ContentControls.Count
End Sub
