@william_craft: "I am using ID CS. Is there a way to find out what colors are on each page? Am I correct in assuming that the color swatches are created from
the graphics that are placed? Could I further assume that if you replace a graphic using a different color, the other color would no longer appear in the swatches palette? (sorry I'm not being more clear) The reason I'm asking is that I have used one color (transparent white)in a graphic that frells up my print jobs and I'm trying to find where it is and replace it with a more printer friendly color (0% process black). The color I'm trying to get rid of is not hi-lited when I click 'select all unused' so I figure it's still somewhere in the 30 pages of my document. Any help
would be greatly appreciated."
    @M_Blackburn: "As far as I know there is no way to search colour usage in placed graphics or any object for that matter. I think PageMaker had (�has) rudementary capability in this; such a thing would not be a bad addition to ID."
    @william_craft: "The only thing I've found that sort of helps is using the 'output
preview' from the window drop down. You can view separations for each page. It's a pain since you'll have to do each page to find the
color you are looking for but it has helped some."
    @M_Blackburn: "      It's a pain since you'll have to do each page�
What do you mean by that? If you have a specific spot colour you're looking for, you can choose that in the view and then just page up or down through the pages to look for usage."
    @william_craft: "Thanks. I guess I was just so happy to find the preview thing I stopped thinking clearly. There's just so much new stuff to learn with this program."
    @Fred_Stewart: "William,
Another tid bit, This will not work with imported colors from EPS files unless you re-export your eps with the new color.
If you are wanting to replace color A with color B just drag color A to the trash in the swatches palette. A dialog box comes up asking which color do you want to replace Color A with. Simply choose color B from the drop down menu and ba da bing all instances of Color A will be replaced with color B.
Again EPS graphics with spot color A will need to be edited again to apply Color B to them, but any text or graphics in InDesign that have had Color A applied to them will now be set to Color B.
There is also an Alias option in the ink manager to "link" one color to another so that they will print as one spot color. Check this out as well. I have used both types of color replacement and each has its own strengths and weaknesses depending on the situation.
Hope this is useful
Fred J"
