I really appreciate the feedback.

I tried updating the formfield to the 'calculate on exit', however, I don't see that as an option under Developer, Properties.

How would I convert all drop downs to this format?
How do I create unique internal bookmark names for each drop down? I thought I already completed this (OC1, OC2,...OC7) for the organizational competencies section (Section I), yet it doesn't appear to calculate when adding the formula you sent.

Thank you so much. I am so lost with completing this document.
