is there a way to select a swatch then have it jump to where its used.. kind of like a find/replace but for colors?

if you delete a color it will ask which color you like to replace it with, so you could do it that way, if I understand correctly.

delete the color in question and change it to an obnoxiously obvious color? that is if you don't know where you are using it.

i thought about that, but want to find out where these colors are being used because i can't trash them.
i'm assuming in one of the .eps files, but that means looking through a lot of files. i could have sworn there was a way to select a color and 'go to first used' or something like that.

you can do colour seperations and see where your specific plate is showing up.

I mean, in indesign you can view the seperations on screen.... without having to print it out and waste paper/time

good call. thanks.
this project has been lagging since august and like 3 or 4 people touched it and were specifiying coated colors in the .eps and monotones so its all in the images.

it works in reverse, if you select an EPS, it's color will highlight in the pallette.

that's not working....

which part isn't working?
trust me, dude, just view the in-program seperations.
you'll save time and hassle, especially if it's a multi page doc.not to mention you can ask indesign to highlight where the colour is on a page (useful if it's faint).

this is what i was asking about in the first place, but my issue was finding the linked eps that used the spot. i figured it out, but this does not jump to the eps, only if its used as a text color, etc
