Hello All-

Just wondering if anyone knows if there are any Indesign plug ins or scripts that work similar to Illustrators "Select Same..." feature of finding objects, type & strokes of the same color, value as what youhave already selected.

I work in pre-press and we have clients who spec their type in odd colors (0% black, Registration Color, or in an RGB color which isnt even in their color pallet)

Specificaly in text, it would be great to have a tool that shows what text is colored and where. What objects or anything may be in RGB, because often the color isnt in their pallet. We have these booby traps all the time and it is hard to manually catch them all.

Any direction to such a plug-in or script or advice would be appreciated!

DA

If you click on the Swatches flyout there is an option called "Add Unnamed Colors," which will put all the colors used in the document back into the swatches pallette. You can then re-map them as needed.

Have you experimented with Separation Preview? That might help you out a bit, especially when finding nonblack text.
