Good Morning
I am using corel x4, and have an eps that needs to be converted to pantone. I have ungrouped. Instead of clicking on each piece that needs to be changed, is there a way to change all of the white to a pantone color?

I think I got it, I went to color styles and converted colors to spot. Looks like it will print separations okay..

It will print okay, but this design is in black and white, and I need to show the customer what it would look like in gold. So again, need to know how to change all of one color at the same time. thx

Another way to do it is Edit/Find and Replace/Find Objects.

You can make it find all objects like the selected object, or select the object's properties from a few lists to narrow down the search.

Once you've completed the search criteria, click "find all" (I think that's the final step) and it should select all of those objects.

Now you can assign your new color.

You go to "edit"
"find and replace"
"replace objects"
Then select "Replace a Color"

You can also replace entire color models. Like changing everything from cmyk to rgb or lab.

Edit to add: Oh I see you already posted that. I think that is what he was talking about.

Or, you can use the Color Styles docker. Right click on one of the colors in your drawing and change it. It's not 100% perfect unfortunately, but works well 75% of the time.
