Hey there!

I am using Word 2013.



So I want to do a repeating drop down list in word. I have a drop-down list with multiple options and this list comes along several times in a document. I want to do it that if I select an option in the first one then the same option would be automatically be selected in the other drop down lists.

I tried this:
Office Q&A: Two easy ways to repeat text in a Word document | TechRepublic

But if I paste it as in the description above I only get this:
Attachment 18119

But if I copy the link you see in my word document and paste it here it gives me this:
Drop down list

What could be wrong?

you need a mapped content control.
Mapped Content Controls by Greg Maxey

you can do it yourself or use Greg's free utility or something similar.
