    (5) Pantone 279C (L-BLUE)
    (6) Pantone 732C (D-BROWN)

    I can use Red, Green and Yellow on separate screens where as remaining
    “FOUR COLORS” are Dark Blue, Light Blue, Dark Brown and Light Brown.
    Please guide me how I can finish the job in five colors as my boss advised
    me to do it in duotone. The job is on Illustrator CS2 and Colors are PMS.

    Do you have placed halftone images in your document? He likely wants you to open them in photoshop and convert them to a 2-color duotone. You could do a fake duotone in Illustrator by using a 1-color image and setting it to multiple over a solid of another color.

    Can you post a sample page, so we can see how your layout uses colors..
