======================================================
I'm the one who warned Allyson Harris about this problem, which I assume is
also a problem in V5.5.x. Grant Hogarth pointed out one reason (unrelated to
color separations) when you need to use Spot Color as Black and White. You
also need to use it when your FM document uses colored text, and you need to
print in black and white, otherwise, some colors print as white or faint gray.
