Table Trouble

Question

Hi there
I'm having a problem moving tables in Frame docs. Basically, we have a Frame API client which
has to delete all the text in an FM or MIF file, before writing out a translated version of the text back
to the document.
As this process proceeds, non-textual objects in the document such as tables and anchored frames
can be expected to move about the document. What I want to do is move tables back into their pre-text deletion position
after the translated text has been put in place. For the most part it works, but in some documents
strange problems occur, such as a table being written out 12 times successively, one after the other.
Another problem that frequently occurs is that because translated text often uses more characters
than the original, the text ends up wrapping around and below a table, where originally the table
was below the text.
Our current approach is to delete the normal text in the document,
and if we find a table, we wrap the table's
unique ID, object type, text offset and paragraph handle inside
a struct, and pop that struct into a vector.
After all the deletion and re-insertion of text is complete, we iterate through the vector,
and compare the current location of each table in the vector to it's original location.
If they differ, we then cut the table from its current position back to its original.
Im guessing it's a bit more complicated than that to do it right though?
Any comments or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

As an addendum, the code to reposition the tables is shown below:
int o = 0;
const int nMoveCount((int)m_aObjectsToMove.size());
while(o < nMoveCount)
   Anchor a = m_aObjectsToMove[o];
   F_ObjHandleT hAnchor = F_ApiGetUniqueObject(m_hDocument, a.m_nObjectType, a.m_nUID);
   F_TextRangeT textRange;
   textRange.beg = F_ApiGetTextLoc(m_hDocument, hAnchor, FP_TextLoc);
   /* does the anchor' s current location differ
      from the location it was in when pushed into m_aObjectsToMove?
      If not don't move it!
      Problems will arise if anchors are cut from a paragraph which has no other content
      We never have to worry about this because in an empty paragraph an hAnchor tag cannot be moved
      if (textRange.beg.offset != a.m_nOffset)
         textRange.end.objId = textRange.beg.objId;
         textRange.end.offset = textRange.beg.offset+1;
         // Select the object
        if (a.m_nObjectType == FO_Tbl)
            F_ApiMakeTblSelection(m_hDocument, hAnchor, FF_SELECT_WHOLE_TABLE, 0, 0, 0);
                else F_ApiSetTextRange(FV_SessionId, m_hDocument, FP_TextSelection, &textRange);
        F_ApiCut(m_hDocument, FF_CUT_TBL_CELLS);
        F_TextRangeT newRange;
        newRange.beg.objId = a.m_nPgf;
        newRange.end.objId = a.m_nPgf;
        if (a.m_nOffset > 0)
           newRange.beg.offset = a.m_nOffset-1;
           newRange.end.offset = a.m_nOffset-1;
        else
           newRange.beg.offset = a.m_nOffset;
           newRange.end.offset = a.m_nOffset;
        // Paste the hAnchor into its new position
        F_ApiSetTextRange(FV_SessionId, m_hDocument, FP_TextSelection, &newRange);
        F_ApiPaste(m_hDocument, FF_REPLACE_CELLS);
        o++;
