Selection.Range.Parent

and all I got was the parent Document which doesen't realy help me. Any Help Appreciated

If the Selection is a single Textbox, or is in a Textbox then:
Selection.StoryType = wdTextFrameStory
and:
Selection.ShapeRange(1).TextFrame should be the Textbox.

But, if the Selection is a single shape, and just a single shape, - a picture, say, - within a Textbox, then Selection.ShapeRange will fail and some special case code will be needed.
