Ugh, it appears I was wrong about the tables doing what I need; they work fine at first glance, but if the text gets edited past a point, it moves the table to the next page (when the anchor in the text where the table was originally created shifts to the next page it's taking the table with it).

So now I'm back to square one. Does anyone have any suggestion to do what I need to do? My only solution might be to move the entire Story B to the end of the document, and move each segment to the front when the document is finalized in the VBA code. Or, in the VBA code, move the anchor for each table to the proper place on it's page.
