Some examples that might help you:

Text boxes:
In VBA terms, a text box is a shape. The following code checks whether the
third shape in the active document is a text box. If that is the case, the
shape is selected. Note that the most recently created shape has the highest
index number, i.e. it is not the position in the document that determines the
number.

With ActiveDocument
If .Shapes(3).Type = msoTextBox Then
.Shapes(3).Select
End If
End With

Tables:
The following code selects the second table in the document:
ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Select

The following code selects the entire table in which the selection is
currently found:
Selection.Tables(1).Select
