Templates are .dotm, documents are .docm.

From your screenshot the code appears to be in your Normal.dotm, which is a template that only you have access to.

Your code uses

Code:

ThisDocument

which refers to the document or template that contains the code. To use the code with the current document use

Code:

ActiveDocument

instead.
