You show us an anchored item, your question is not that clear: what exactly do you want?

Before: I select text. After: New textframe and into the selected text

[Sandee Cohen]

Select the text.

Cut it from the text frame.

Deselect the text frame.

Choose Paste.

Adjust the new text frame to see all the text.

Click where you want the text to be.

Choose Paste.

HOWEVER if you don't mind losing the text as text, select the text.

Choose Create Outlines from the Type menu

The text will be converted to an object in the text flow.

I second Frans: what's the final goal of all this? What do you expect to gain? Isn't it just another incarnation of the famous 'xy problem"?
