changing color to greyscale
Hi
I am very new to Indesign. Just started working with the program a month ago and it is an older version (Indesign CS2). I am designing ads for a magazine that originally were to be in color. However, they are now needing to be black and white. I did not know if there was a way to change the work I have done to greyscale?
I cannot find any information in my indesign for dummies or just browsing on the web.
Thanks for any advice/help I get.

Looks like you’re still waiting for an answer…
There’s no easy way to do this. You can delete all your coloured swatches and replace with black — but that only gets you part way there.
Any coloured line work and panels could be copied to Illustrator, converted to greyscale and copied back — but that’s only efficient if you’ve got a lot of it. Imported ai and eps files need to be converted in Illustrator.
Photographic images need to be corrected in greyscale to get the best results (just a straight conversion is seldom good enough).
Probably not the answer you were hoping for.
Good luck with it.m.
