Need help with drop down menus on several pages in a new form

I am creating a multiple page form. Some of the information in several text fields appear on all pages as the same as entered in page one. This isn't the issue. 

 

I want to add a dropdown menu to each page with the same selections but I don't want the information from one page to populate to the other pages. I am not sure if I should copy the field names or duplicate them. I don't want to enter each field again on all pages. 

 

What's the best way to copy the drop down menu field on page one and have the final entries be independent on all pages. Thanks in advance. 

A message about creating a portfolio came up but I didn't seem to grasp it.

In form editing mode, right-click the dropdown field on page 1 and select Create multiple copies.  Enter the number of fields you need in the down field and enter 1 in the across field then click OK.  The dropdowns will be independent of each other because they will have different names, but they will have the same selection options.  Cut and paste the fields to the various pages.
