(The submenu options include PMS colors.) Once you've chosen your PMS color, you can drag it to your main Swatches palette for safekeeping if you want.

I can't think of an Illustrator installation, legitimate or otherwise, that would lack those basic libraries. Just unzip this to your Swatch Libraries folder in your Illustrator directory, I guess. (First check that folder to make sure it really is empty -- it could be that your stuff just isn't showing up, in which case you can open the library with the Open... command.)

I ran into problems getting my seps to RIP on one document's images because the maker had created the EPS files in RGB. If you don't RIP these yourself this may save you some money if you are having a service bureau do your Pre-press work to your documents.
