Please, How can I apply this script only to selected text and not throughout the document?

[Laubender]

Hi Marcelo,

change the code of this line:

clean_up (app.activeDocument, true);

to:

clean_up (app.activeDocument.selection[0], true);

FWIW: I only tested this on a small sample of selected text.

It should also work with the text of one single selected text frame.
