Success:

myStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
myLim = myStory.paragraphs.length;
myTargStory = app.documents[0].textFrames.item('Target').parentStory;
myTargTable = myTargStory.textFrames[0].tables[0];

for (i=0; i<myLim; i++) {
 myText = myStory.paragraphs.item(i).characters.itemByRange(2,-2);
 myText.move(LocationOptions.atEnd, myTargTable.rows.item(i).cells.item(i).texts.item(i));

OK, now I think I've learned enough to get serious about tackling this job.

I hope this meander through my thinking processes is helpful to people trying to come to grips with scripting.
