    Default viewing colours used

    My artwork contains 2 different blacks and i only want 1 - It would take hours to select and check each individual shape. Is it possible to see a list of all the colours used, pick the 'wrong' black that i used and just change it to the right black? Wd be grateful for any help...Corrie

    Select the 'wrong' black, go to Select/Same/Fill or Select/Same/Stroke (depending on what the object is) and change the colour to the 'right' black. Keep an eye on what you are selecting regarding stroked and non-stroked objects and fills so you don't make any unintentional changes. This will work in AI legacy and CS.

    As an extra check I do this select/same command and hit apple+3 to hide the selection. Any rogue colours will be left visible for you to target. Or open in Acrobat CS and do the seps preview.
