Kevin,
Problem 1 is caused by your not having anything selected, so Word has a problem with the Selection.Range command. If this is new, empty form, you can simply select the entire form. If not, then you have to go to the correct spot. What I've done is add a FormField called "DetailTable". I select the formfield, make sure it's blanked, move the selected item to the next row and then insert the table:

WITH oWord.activedocument

** Now put in the Detail Table
      .formfields("DetailTable").Result = ''
      .formfields("DetailTable").Select
      oWord.selection.moveDown 1


      .tables.add(oWord.selection.range, nRows, nCols)
ENDWITH

I've found that formfields make excellent markers. Also, tables are numbered internally by Word as they are added, which may help with Problem 2.
