Copy color swatches from one InDesign document to another

If you’re working on two Adobe InDesign documents and you want to pull the color swatches from one document to the other, there are two ways to do it. You could save the swatches from the first document as an .ase file from the Swatches panel flyout menu, then import them into the second document. Or, a quicker way, Command + Click to select all the swatches you want and drag them from the Swatches panel in the first document to the page of the second document. Unfortunately, the later method doesn’t work if you’re using InDesign CS4′s new tabbed window interface. You would have to drag the tab of the second document out to create a new ID window first.
