Delete excess spot-color inks

Microsoft Office Publisher 2003

    One of the following will happen:

    • If the spot-color ink is labeled Not in use, Publisher will delete it.
    • If the spot-color ink is labeled In use, Publisher will open the Replace Ink dialog box where you must choose a spot-color ink to replace the one you have deleted.
