I have been looking for a command to define a shortcut for the spot color to the selected element. But i could not figure out. Can anybody help me how to covert the selected element into spot color here in x6

Make sure this color gets added to a palette, maybe it's already been added to the Document palette.Click the little arrow button on the palette and select Edit color from the menu.Select the color swatch inside the dialog and then choose Treat as: Spot.
This swatch will now appear and separate as a spot color.
I know this way is very annoying to simply define to spot or to process. There should be a shorcut to toggle to spot and process color.
These developers should never listen
I have tried that procedure many times and it simply does not work when Publishing a PDF.
For example:
1) I add a CMYK color to the document palette (eg., to use as a die line)
2) select that color in the document palette
3) click on little arrow at left side of the palette and select Edit Color to open the Palette Editor
4) the Palette Editor now displays "Document Palette" in the drop down list, the document's colors and the current color as the "Selected Color"
5) I give it a name and select "Treat as: Spot"
6) publish document as a pdf using "Prepress" as the PDF Preset and it DOES NOT separate as a spot color.
I have tried all combinations of PDF Preset values and none have resulted in this, or any "Spot Color" I created, actually separating as a spot color when opened in Acrobat pro X.
It will, however separate Pantone Colors correctly.
X6 appears to use the "Components:" value to determine if and how that same color is treated as a spot color or not.
Any ideas what is going on here?
