Weird behavior when adding heading/footing around Word Table programatically

Question

I am writing a macro to insert a Word table and surround it by a heading and footing, the heading and footing are pre-edited into a couple of documents.

My macro is doing this:

1. insert the heading from an external doc
2. ask the user for table dimension and create the table
3. insert the footing from an external doc

I am getting a weird behavior where the table is inserted inside the content of the heading, and the footing is inserted inside the table !!!
