    For years I was involved with textbook publishing, even during the days when Quark had a 120 limit on stylesheets. We always had to have 3 different style sheets for our lists. A numbered list might have sheets:

    NL_enter

    NL_revolve

    NL_exit

    that way you could include the space above and blow the lists as the enter and exit with revolve not throwing any extra space. Of course, when we reached our limit for stylesheets, we had to be very creative indeed.

    I'm mostly concerned with the flattening part. If you're using a spot color, you shouldn't have it doing ANY transparency interaction. The flattening flattening will convert whatever is interacting into another CMYK color and you'll lose the spot color. IF you desire tints of a spot color, make it a tint, NEVER use transparency to lighten it up. Tints and opacity/transparency are two completely different animals.

    If I'm way off base/misunderstanding the issue, please let me know.
