Keith--

If you have a paragraph, you can simply tell it to make a table. When you do that, InDesign will enter the text of the paragraph in the table. So:



Set myTable = myParagraph.Tables.Add 




Also note that Paragraph.Selection will never return anything (except maybe an error<g>). Selection is a property of the application, a document, or a window.

If you have a selection (not necessarily a paragraph), and want to convert it to a table, you can use:



Rem Given a reference to the InDesign application "myInDesign"... 
myInDesign.Selection.Item(1).Tables.Add 




So you were very close!

Thanks,

Ole
