Seems like a fundamental feature, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to select by COLOR. So, I'm thinking that this is a missing feature because I've scoured the help and as many select functions as I can find to no avail. So, does anyone know a way or a script to perform this function? Seems like I am always looking for this feature, but it seems absent to me.

Chris. There is none. Mabye you should learn to use the object manager and group similar colors? This may effect layer heirachy, but it's a possible way around it

In Cocut there is a menu on the same page and in the same column ( right side) that you set number of copies.

Illustrator has that, as well as by stroke color, weight, and paint style....I was a Corel master in Version 5 but since Version 6 I have been a little rusty but I thought there was a style select option. I have Version 12 on my PC but I am on my Mac right now....

Hello, the answer comes too late,,, but you can try this tool http://www.cadintools.com/cdr_features_selection.htm With this tool you can filter the shapes with the color you want.

This software is shareware, but some tools (included the filter selection tool) continue working after the trial period.

try using "find and replace"...it will let you search out objects with simular attributes.

Wow, that's a blast from the past. I don't even recall what version I was referrring to at the time, but based on the date of the post, maybe v9 or v11? Actually X3 has this feature now. I'm not even sure of WHY I was looking for this at the time, but maybe to change to another color. If so, Color Replacer (free VBA script) does a really great job - http://www.oberonplace.com/vba/drawmacros/ColorReplacer/index.htm
