Default Code on a button to attach a document to my Word Auto fill document is not working on a Mac

Hello
I designed a Word document that gives users the option to select a button so that they can select a document and once selected, the document will be attached. This works fine on a PC. However, on a Mac it does not work. I have been investigating this issue for days now and the code below is the code on the button.
Dim MyPath As String
Dim OneFile As Boolean
OneFile = True
MyPath = MacScript("return (path to desktop folder) as String")
If Val(Application.Version) < 15 Then
If OneFile = True Then
MyScript = _
"set theFile to (choose file of type" & _
" " & FileFormat & " " & _
"with prompt ""Please select a file"" default location alias """ & _
MyPath & """ without multiple selections allowed) as string" & vbNewLine & _
"return theFile"
End If
Else
If OneFile = True Then
MyScript = _
"set theFile to (choose file of type" & _
" " & FileFormat & " " & _
"with prompt ""Please select a file"" default location alias """ & _
MyPath & """ without multiple selections allowed) as string" & vbNewLine & _
"return posix path of theFile"
End If
End If
MyFiles = MacScript(MyScript)
FileName:=MyFiles, _


LinkToFile:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=True, _
IconLabel:=Right(MyFiles, Len(MyFiles) - InStrRev(MyFiles, "/"))
I do not have a Mac so when I sent a test form with this code on a button to a user with a Mac it is still failing. On a PC as I mentioned it works fine. The user selects a document and the document attaches as a icon. Is there any way this can be done on a Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also should I use AppleScriptTask instead of MacScript. Thanks in advance.
