If the client wants to make a Duotone, have them look at the Duotone steps in the manual.
To make a spot color ad that is not a Duotone, follow these steps:
1. Open a new file in CMYK with Transparent Background Contents.
2. Go to -Window menu and select Channels. Note: It used to be you would work on layers, but for the spot color ad you will work on channels.
3. With the Channel tab active in the palette, click on the little black arrow on the right and select New Spot Channel.
4. A little dialogue box pops up. Click in the little square at the bottom left next to Color:.
5. The Color Picker opens up. Click on Custom and select from the list Book: Pantone Solid Coated.
6. Type the pantone color you want. You do not have to have the cursor in any box here, just start typing the number, like 185, and it will show up.
