Tutorial
Draw a rectangle and Fill It With a PANTONE®* Color
  1. Select the rectangle tool in the Tools palette.

  2. Draw a rectangle that starts in the top-left grid rectangle on page 2 and ends in the second grid rectangle in the fifth row on page 2. A rectangle snaps to the grid on the left side of page 2. The handles at each corner and on each side indicate that it's selected.

  3. Choose Fill Pattern from the Draw menu and then choose the solid pattern from the palette that appears.

  4. Choose Fill Color from the Draw menu, then choose Other from the palette that appears. The Color Selector dialog box appears. On the left side of the dialog box is a scrolling list of colors. On the right side, the current color appears with its name in the box just below it. The scrolling list of colors starts with black and white, and is followed by 18 built-in colors. Following these is every color in the PANTONE®* MATCHING SYSTEM 747XR Series, listed in numerical order. You can select a color by scrolling the list and then clicking the one you want. But since there are hundreds of colors available, there's an easier way if you know the color's PANTONE®* Number. In this bulletin, PANTONE®* 1795 CV is specified as the second color.

  5. Type 1795 and then type a period (.) The color is displayed. Click OK. The rectangle you drew is filled with this color. There is a 1-point rule around the rectangle that you need to remove.

  6. Choose Pen Tint from the Draw menu and then choose 0%. The rule around the rectangle disappears.
