In the Script Editor window it works flawlessy, but If I try to execute the script from the Script Menu when I am in a TextEdit document, for example, it doesn't work.
It works only inside Script Editor.

Andrea,
This is a known issue with some cocoa apps. They will not respond to scripts run on script menu.
So, provided you do not run it from script menu when TE s the active application, I believe it will work!

No, it works *only* in Script Editor if I run it with the Run command (Apple + R).
It's very annoying...
