How to change all used colors to 100% black

It's probably a dead simple answer, but I can't find it.
Here's the thing:
In a product brochure I had to change all product drawings to 100% black.
What I did was select all unused colors from the palette, deleted them. Then changed all the used colors into 100% black (drag Global black swatch onto the other swatches while holding Alt).
In the printing office it appeared that there were still elements in the drawings that weren't in 100% black. Those elements had colors that weren't in a swatch in the color palette.
How can I change ALL the used colors, including the ones that haven't been turned into a swatch in color palette, into 100% black?
Thanks for any help!
(Illustrator CS3 is what I'm working with)

James,
I am using CS3.
It's a bit of a complicated story.
I get the drawings supplied from my customer. The drawings are made in an Autocad-like program (I forgot its name), then imported into Autocad (because that first piece of software doesn't have the right export-extensions) and then from Autocad it's exported to Illustrator.
The customer wanted to do the conversion to black themselves, because it would ease my work-load, since I wouldn't have to open and adjust all those drawings again when they have it open already.
Only they are using CS2.
I guess they'll just have to upgrade...

How to change all specific colors to another color.

Can some one tell me how to change all colors in Illustrator to another color all at once.
I used to work in Freehand and you could select all, them go to a panel and have it change
all of one color to another in a layout.
Exp. You could change pms 356 to pms 410 without selecting each individually.
I can't find this feature in Illustrator CS4
Any help appreciated

Thanks Monika and Kurt.
Figured it out. But I couldn't get it to affect groups inside clipping masks. Basically had to completely
disassamble the logo.
Don't know why Illustrator has to make it so difficult. In Freehand it's simple: select the entire object, open
a panel, a few clicks and bingo it's done. Even if things are grouped, groups within groups, pasted into another group....no problem.

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

Hi,
I am looking for nearly the same. What I have found is that it seems to manipulate the SAP theme that is used in standard when template is executed in the portal. Just display the source code of the HTML and there you will see the included SAP theme (normally SAP_TRADESHOW). Then you have to go to the SAP portal and change this stuff. But for that you have to know where to find it and what impact this change has.
I am not pretty sure if this is the right way. But as I want to change the standard layout of a whole template to a customer specific layout I think there is no other way in BI7.0.

How to change table border color in DW CS6

I need to know how to change the color of the border around my tables in Dreamweaver CS6. I saw a article on how to change it on http://forums.adobe.com/message/4451812, but i really couldnt follow because im just starting out using dreamweaver and i dont know anything about code. Is there a simple way to change the border color or can you give me a basic step process on how to change the border color in the code?

Just an FYI, nobody uses Table-based layouts anymore. It's much better to use CSS for layouts. Only use tables for tabular data like spreadsheets and charts.
Dreamweaver has a bunch of pre-built CSS Layouts for you to use as starter pages. Just go to File > New > Blank page > HTML. Pick a layout from the 3rd panel and hit Create button. See screenshot below.

Nichelle,
You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
Insert > Shape > Rectangle
In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

Jerry

How to change the document color mode(RGB to CMYK)?

Kindly advice me how to change the document color mode(RGB to CMYK) via scripting in "illustrator cs3".
Thanks.

Somebody wrote and posted this a couple of years ago.
// Duplicate the selection from the active document into a new document.
// To invoke the JavaScript debugger, remove comment delimiters
//$.level = 1; debugger;
var newItem;
var docSelected = app.activeDocument.selection;
if ( docSelected.length > 0 ) {
// Create a new document and move the selected items to it.
var newDoc = app.documents.add();
if ( docSelected.length > 0 ) {
for ( i = 0; i < docSelected.length; i++ ) {
docSelected[i].selected = false;
newItem = docSelected[i].duplicate( newDoc,
ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND );
else {
docSelected.selected = false;
newItem = docSelected.parent.duplicate( newDoc,
ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND );
else {
alert( "Please select one or more art objects" );
It should give some ideas about how to proceed.

You can set the equalizer from the View menu, which will affect any songs played in iTunes.

Hello, Is there a script that I can change all the colors of a layer in to 1 PMS color, unite every object and than give it an offset of -0,2 mm ?

Hello,
Is there a script that I can change all the colors of a layer in to 1 PMS color, unite every object and than give it an offset of -0,2 mm ?

the offset has to be semi-automatic, apply an Offset Path Effect (by hand), create a Graphic Style out of it (by hand), then the script can apply this graphic style to objects.
