Raymond--

As long as you're staying inside the document, you can use the move method to move the text. Consider the following example JavaScript (most of it is just setting up the example table and target text frame):



//MoveTableExample.js 
// 
//----------example document setup---------- 
var myDocument = app.documents.add(); 
var myBounds = new Array; 
var myString = "1a\t1b\t1c\r2a\t2b\t2c\r3a\t3b\t3c\r4a\t4b\t4c" 
var myBounds = myGetBounds(myDocument.pages.item(0), myDocument); 
var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item(0).textFrames.add(undefined, undefined, undefined, {geometricBounds:myBounds, contents:myString}) 
var myTable = myTextFrame.texts.item(0).convertToTable(); 
//Add a bit more text--InDesign will crash if we attempt to move *all* of the text in a story. 
myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item(-1).contents = "\rA bit more text.\r" 
var myParagraph = myTextFrame.paragraphs.item(0); 
//Create the destination text frame. 
var myDestinationPage = myDocument.pages.add(); 
var myBounds = myGetBounds(myDestinationPage, myDocument); 
var myDestinationTextFrame = myDestinationPage.textFrames.add(undefined, undefined, undefined, {geometricBounds:myBounds}); 
//Now move the table into the new text frame. 
myParagraph.move(LocationOptions.atBeginning, myDestinationTextFrame.parentStory); 
function myGetBounds(myPage, myDocument){ 
	myBounds[0] = myPage.marginPreferences.top; 
	myBounds[1] = myPage.marginPreferences.left; 
	myBounds[2] = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight - myPage.marginPreferences.bottom; 
	myBounds[3] = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth - myPage.marginPreferences.right; 
	return myBounds; 
}

Sorry, I guess that's a JavaScript. Hang on and I'll make a VBScript version.

Thanks,
