Using PMS colors in Indesign

T.G.I.F.
Almost the weekend! Today I am going to show you how to use the pms colors in Indesign.
First set your document up, go the the windows tab at top and scroll to swatches. This will bring the swatches palette up in your document.

CLICK THE SMALL ARROW DROP DOWN MENU AND CHOOSE NEW COLOR SWATCH:
NEXT CHANGE COLOR TYPE TO SPOT AND COLOR MODE TO PANTONE SOLID COATED OR UNCOATED, WHATEVER YOU PREFER, SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE IMAGE BELOW:

NOW CHOOSE THE PMS COLOR AND CLICK ADD:
VOILA, NOW YOU HAVE THE PMS COLOR IN THE PALLET TO USE IN YOUR LAYOUT DESIGN AS SHOWN BELOW!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
