DELETE SPOT COLOR

[jonmiller@adobeforums.com]

I would like to delete spot colors in my swatches, but when I try the swatches garbage can is grayed. Is there something I can do to in indesign to correct this problem?

Are we talking CS? If so, try exporting to InDesign Interchange format and then open the .inx file.

Thanks Dave, could you tell me the purpose of InDesign Interchange. I have never used it.

The original purpose was to backsave to version 2.0. It didn't work but
it turns out it's a great way to strip out junk and some corruption from
files.

Interesting... seems much easier than the "book method" which has been discussed a bit on here.

Do you lose any date from InDesign CS while saving as InDesign Interchange?? Wondering if this is safe to do next time I have the "locked spot color" problem...
