You're close but (with help from ole), I used this: 

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
�set mySelection to selection 
�set myItem to object reference of item 1 of mySelection 
�if class of myItem is character then 
��tell myItem 
���set myTable to make table 
��end tell 
�else 
��-- error; do whatever you need to do 
�end if 
end tell 

Quite why the class is returned as "character" in this case is beyond me but it apparently is. It might also work to eliminate that test and use a try, like this: 

try 
�tell myItem 
��set myTable to make table 
�end tell 
on error 
�-- take error action 
end try 

This would handle any case where (for whatever reason) myItem had some other legitimate text class while still erroriing any other kind of selection.
