There is a complexity in using ranges as adding the brackets can often end up inside the field itself. For this reason you need to use the Selection object which is kind of a pain. Try this code version
Code:
Sub AppendixParens()

    Dim oStory As Range, oFld As Field, iCount As Integer, aRng As Range
    On Error Resume Next
      For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
        For Each oFld In oStory.Fields
          If oFld.Type = wdFieldSequence Then
            If oFld.Code Like "*Table*" Then
              Set aRng = oFld.Result
              oFld.Select       'need to use selection object to make insertbefore go outside of field
              Selection.Range.InsertBefore "("
              Selection.Range.InsertAfter ")"
              iCount = iCount + 1
            End If
          End If
        Next oFld
      Next
    Set oFld = Nothing
    Set oStory = Nothing
    On Error GoTo 0
    MsgBox iCount & " instances bracketed.", vbOKOnly, "Macro complete"
End Sub
Note that I think these brackets are going to play badly with cross-references to the captions.
