If you saved the macro in the template that's used as the base of the document,
then no, the macro won't transfer with the document.
You can do this any of several ways:
- Put the macro into the document itself. Then it will travel with the document.
The downside is that Word will assume that any macro in a document is possibly a
virus. You'd have to tell users to set their security level (Tools Macro
Security) to Medium, and enable the macros whenever they open the document.
- Send out the template instead of a document based on it. Have the users open
it the same way they would open and use the document.
- Send both the template and the document, with instructions to put the template
into the User Templates folder (whose location can be found in the Tools
Options File Locations dialog).

I saved, closed out of Word completely, and when I reopened, the "3. Yes,
enable protection." option was no longer grayed out. So the below issues is
no longer an issue. Now, I'm on to the next problem. My file seems to work
perfectly. However, I have tested it with a couple other employees in my
office and the links don't work for them. When they double click, it does
nothing. We looked on the macro menu of their computer and it appears the
FollowLink macro is not transferring with the file. Any ideas?

"Unable" in what way? Is the Protect Document command grayed out/disabled?
Do you get any message?
There's nothing in the article that should cause protection to be disabled.
Have you added anything else to the document besides the MacroButton field?
