...when separation preview does not help Does someone have a script for this? Like select the swatch, then show first use... show next etc?? As background to this issue, I had a job that was supposed to be 2 colors PMS267 and Black. There was a process swatch that should not have been in use but it was and I was reluctant to delete and replace without knowing where it was used. I found 1 instance by editing the color to something that stood out, and got rid of that use, but it was still used somewhere. So then edited the color to a spot and printed that separation, noting which pages printed. The other uses ended up being graphic frames containing a grayscale Photoshop EPS files, that had this color as the fill of the frame... in other words it was completely ineffectual, and I could have replaced with white or none and been fine. But there should be an easier way.
