How do you quickly apply a specific Pantone number in Flexi?

Most of the color swatches at the bottom of my Flexi workspace are small, so I don't have to scroll right and left to find the certain color I'm looking for. But, the Pantone swatch has a huge amount of colors. Thankfully, the Pantone colors are numbered. When you select a part of a file that you want to fill with a specific Pantone color (that you know the number for), how do you input that color number and fill without scrolling through all the colors until you fine the right one? I've seen someone do this in CorelDraw, but I can't see how to do it in Flexi. Thanks for any help.

This is one of my biggest complaints with Flexi. No way that I know of to do it. In Photoshop, it's simple...just type the number when you're in the Color Library window. But Flexi.....yep, scroll, scroll, scroll....
Best idea I have come up with is to maybe create your own Tables with Pantone colors, and have several groups. 1 with Pantones 100-300's, 1 with 400s-500's, etc, etc. But that seems to be too much work.

go into color specs. if you've applied a color vaguely similar to the one you want, the find feature can search a color library, in this case pantone coated say , and give you all similar colors in that library to choose from..its fast..or just scroll in that library, its quicker than the bottom ones
