Loading colors from other files
You can import colors and gradients from other documents. When you do so, all of the
source file's spot and process colors and gradients are added to a new palette. You can
load colors from the following:
Adobe InDesign documents (Windows filename extension: .indd)
•
Adobe InDesign templates (.indt)
•
Adobe Illustrator 8.x EPS documents (.eps)
•
To import colors, tints, and gradients from other files:
1 Choose New Color Swatch, in the Swatches palette menu.
2 Choose Other Library, from the Color Mode list, and then select the file from which you
want to import swatches.
3 Click Open (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS).
You can also drag swatches from an InDesign document's Swatches palette to the
document window of another InDesign document. This adds the swatch to the
second document's Swatches palette.
Saving swatch library colors with your document
Swatch libraries are open only during the current session. If you want to use swatch colors
in future sessions, copy them to your Swatches palette, using the New Color Swatch
command.
You can't edit the colors stored in a swatch library. To edit a color from a swatch library,
copy it to the Swatches palette and then edit it there. (See
page 307.)
