Read your help file again! What you want is NOT 2 spot colors. For some
reason Microsoft doesn't think that black is a color (???). It is always
black PLUS spot colors. You need to select black plus 1 spot color.

.... If you choose black plus one spot color,
Publisher converts all colors except for black in your
publication to tints of the spot color....

I need to convert my Publisher 2002 document to spot
color, maintaining black for all black text (in text
boxes as well as in imported picture files - Excel charts
and other TIFFs) and changing all other colors to
variations/tones of a single spot color (PMS 349 - a
green). According to the help file, I want to choose two
spot colors - black first and a green second. I see how
to modify/delete other spot colors, but although I
specify only these two spot colors in the dialog box, the
box below (stating which colors are used in my document)
has 3 colors. According to the help file, having 3 colors
means that ONLY the colors in my doc matching exactly the
second color will be that color and all others will be
shades of gray, which is happening. How do I restrict
there being only 2 spot colors (Black and a green)? Below
is the Help information copied so you can see what I'm
referring to:

From Publisher 2002 Help ~

In Publisher, black is automatically included in spot
color printing. If you choose black plus one spot color,
Publisher converts all colors except for black in your
publication to tints of the spot color. If you choose
black plus two spot colors, Publisher changes objects
that exactly match spot color 2 to 100 percent of that
color. All other colors in the publication change to
tints of spot color 1. You can, however, fill selected
objects or text with spot color 2.
