How to make repeating drop-down lists?

[ChaserHUN]

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:

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

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?
