GeekGod-- 

No, that's just the example document. You should be able to take the part beginning with: 



' clear out existing data  
myInDesign.FindPreferences = idNothing 




...and graft it into your script. 

This one makes a table from the text having the specified character style--if you want to place the table *before* that text, you can tell the first insertion point in the found text to make the table, as in: 



If FoundText.Count > 0 Then  
    For myCounter = FoundText.Count To 1 Step -1  
        Set myFoundItem = FoundText.Item(myCounter)  
        myFoundItem.InsertionPoints.Item(1).Tables.Add  
    Next  
End If  




Thanks, 

Ole
