Default Converting Tables to Text macro

If it is the only table in the document, use

ActiveDocument.Tables(1).ConvertToText

or if there is more than one and this is the last table, use:

With ActiveDocument
.Tables(.Tables.Count).ConvertToText
End With

I have a macro I'm starting to have trouble with. I copy a one-column MS
Access query result. Then in Word, it pastes it in to a doc as RTF, goes
to
the end of the doc, moves up one row and converts the table to text.

The macro is erroring out because the "object doesn't refer to a table."
If
I go into the doc and see where the cursor is, it's at the bottom of the
doc
and I cannot move it (via arrow keys) up one line to get the cursor into
the
table - thus the error, I think.

Is there something I can do differently in the macro so I'm always located
in the table and the macro can run?
