Also, picking from an already compressed gif is a no no as they are
generally not full flat colour as they are dithered / anti-aliased.

No, but you get an approx, thought it was for web. Open a html and make a
picture box in Xporess 5, gave it Pantone 274 c, export html from
Xpress, you get a gif in the file you can color pick from Fireworks, you can
make the approx more accurate by fiddling with resolutions...

cheers

That is incorrect.  You cannot truly get a conversion from Hex to Pantone -
it will not be exact and therefore useless for print.

Just had an e-mail forwarded on from a designer who has supplied a
greyscale logo, and mentioned that it should be "coloured up in
QuarkExpress. Pantone reference 274".

I've gone through Fireworks and Freehand and can't see any way of
converting this magical 274 into RGB (it's a shade of blue, AFAIK).

Any of you beret-wearing types out there know how to convert it? (and I
don't mean in a religious sense).


Thanks!
