Default Using Same Combo Box Multiple Times

If I remember correctly the dropdown form fields do not work as there is a
limit to the amount of letters you can put in each dropdown box and I need to
put an entire sentence in each one. Any other options for completing this?

Tools from the control toolbox are not really compatible with Word forms.
Use dropdown form fields from the forms toolbar. I take it that you want to
grab a different selection from the dropdown on each of the twelve occasions
it is used? If you want the same selection use REF fields.

I have created a combo box to put in a form, but I need to use it
multiple times in the same form. When I put it in the first time it
works great, but then I hit enter and try to put the same combo box
on the second line it changes the first line information when I
choose an item from the combo box. I have 12 items in the combo box
and it is possible to need 1 or 2 of them or all twelve, so I set up
bulleted numbers 1-12 in the Word doc and would like to use the same
combo box choices for each line, but it is changing the first line no
matter which bullet 1-12 that I am on. Can someone please help????!!!

Thank you!
