If you know where the text is, then the first insertion point of the third word of the paragraph is:

myText.paragraphs[0].words[2].insertionPoints[0].

Bear two things in mind when moving text around:

1. Always process from the back to the front of the text so that the messing around you do with each instance doesn't upset the other references you haven't processed yet.

2. Never move the anchor point itself inside the anchored item -- surefire way of getting a very loud crash.
