I have the latest upgrades of FreeHand and PageMaker (though not the
Color Extension).  I want to make a brochure in PageMaker, complete with
spot-colored text.  I also want to draw the cover in FreeHand, with spot
colors, then place it in the PageMaker document.  Then, I want to 
get spot color overlays with the FreeHand graphic seperating into its
constituant overlays as well.

For example, if I define a spot color of solid blue in both PageMaker
and FreeHand, I want the black overlay to include black from the
FreeHand and PageMaker documents and the blue overlay to work
similarly.  THIS IS NOT color seperation...  Can it be done?  If not,
FreeHand spot color becomes useless in the larger context of an
entire document.  (Please don't suggest that I get Color Extension and
do color seps--I cannot afford to have full 4-color brochures.)
