Is there a way to select all objects that are a certain color in a document?

select/ same/ fill color
- syst_m0
Yes, I know that but how about select the color first and then find all the objects.

Someone fucked up on some shitty peace of artwork and there are fucking spot colors that shouldn't be in the document and I have to find them and make them process colors.

you sound like the sort of person that doesn't deserve help.
- hans_glib0
easy
make a shape filled with the colour you're looking for
then do the select>same fill thing.
bingo

Another question: Who the fuck lays out a package design in illustrator, why not use indesign, thats what its there for.
- you have to be kidding me...hans_glib
- illustrator was made for packaging... indesign for page layout, or something...hans_glib
- you know those names you see when the program starts... well those guys made it...satogami
- I don't know, maybe i'm wrong, but do everything in InDesign. Sure make elements in other programs.syst_m
- not really mate - indesign for multiple page docs and anything with lots of type. illustrator is sometimes better for packaging with keylines etc.jimzyk
- ...for packaging with keylines etc.jimzyk
- no no....package design is done in ILLUSTRATOR!marychain

pretty sure deleting the spot color from the swatch palette will also convert any colors using it to CMYK...

What about using your Magic Wand tool? With tolerance set to 0 (zero), of course. Simple as pie.
