I'm spinning my wheels on this: I need a script to convert selected text to a table (which InDesign does via Table>Convert Text to Table).

I've found various examples that create tables from scratch on a page, and have found the Table.ConvertToText method, but can't seem to find a way to convert existing, selected text to a table. Thanks.
