Exploring the Advantages of 2-Color Commercial Printing
To choose two-color printing for your publication, click Tools, Commercial Printing Tools, Color Printing.
When the Color Printing dialog box appears, click Spot Colors. Click the New Colors button, and choose the two colors that you want to include in your publication.
