I created an art collection in RGB. I need to switch it over to pantone colors. Is there an easy/automatic way to do this other than selecting the colors one by one and doing it in the find and replace color tool?

Open your pantone palette that you want to convert to, run the macro, select Pantone palette and BOOM, done!
do you have some screen shots you can share? I must be missing some steps, im not able to get it.
You could create color styles from all the RGB colors and then change them to spot colors too.

You can convert Pantone to RGB easy (edit / find & replace / replace color mode) but the invert process is not so easy, since not all RGB will match with one Pantone color. Moreover, some Pantone has not the exact equivalent on RGB. So, should replace each RGB tone with an specific pantone color. and there's no way to indentify the shandes of each Pantone, ie if you convert 50% of Pantone 072 to RGB and want to convert the result to Pantone again, it will be converted to a 100% of other Pantone, not as 50% of Pantone 072
I am not too familiar with color styles yet and have not really used them, I could probably check that out. I currently am having to work back in X5 due to X7 having some pantone problems.
