You need to specify *which* insertion point:

 set contents of insertion point 1 of paragraph x of myText to myTab

But you're still doing a lot of unnecessary work. You can replace all of the
code above with one line:

 set contents of insertion point 1 of every paragraph of parent story of
mynewFrame to myTab
