This will work with Word 2004 -- just make sure the selection shape and size
match:

tell application "Microsoft Word"
    set theContents to content of text object of selection
end tell
set theRows to paragraphs of theContents
set allContents to {}
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {tab}
repeat with i from 1 to count of items of theRows
    set allContents to allContents & text items of item i of theRows
end repeat
end
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
-- put them in the table
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    set contents of selection to allContents
end tell

--
