Don't do it on the selection. Get the range of the content control wrapping the table and then insert another wrapper. like this:

function insertTableWrappedBy2CCs() { 
     Word.run(function (context) {
          // We need a 2D array to hold the initial table values
          var data = [["Apple", "Orange", "Pineapple"],["Tokyo","Beijing", "Seattle"]];
          var table = context.document.body.insertTable(3, 3, "start", data);
          table.styleBuiltIn = Word.Style.gridTable5Dark_Accent2;
          var myCC = table.insertContentControl();
          myCC.title = "table";
          var cc2 = myCC.getRange().insertContentControl();
          cc2.title = "parent";
         return context.sync()
     })
     .catch(function (e) {
     	       console.log(e.message);
              })
     }

thanks!!!

Thanks, It working to wrap the cc inside another. If i need to insert the cc inside another cc, do i still get the range? I need to insert some text in cc(A) and then put cc(B) inside it, like: (A Some Text (B Some Text) ) Please advice, Thanks.
