      I'm working on a book, which will be printed in 2 languages. For that reason, the colour of the texts (black) has to appear on a 5th/6th plate. The 4 basic plates (CMYK) are for the pictures. I've already started working on the document (600 pages), creating a lot of text style sheets, all using the default black for the text. For the reason explained above, I need to find the black colour used for the text of all my style sheets and replace it by a spot black named after the language. I can do it manually of course, going through all my styles, but I'd prefer a reliable find/replace option. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to do it and I've looked around on the web as well.

      Thanks in advance for your advice!

      This is a big problem in InDesign. However, there is a find/change color feature in BlatnerTools (blatnertools.com)

      Thank you for your quick answer. I checked your tools' features at DTPtools and I missed “replace colors in styles”, sorry. I've asked about the CS5 version availability and am waiting for a release candidate Mac version. Hopeyfully I'll be able to fix this in just a few clicks, great!
