Indesign Color Issues

[OptimistPrinters]

My indesign has been acting pretty funky lately and I can't figure out what's going on. I've tried finding it in the help menu and on the Adobe Forums... no such luck.

Basically, I'll try to add a Pantone swatch to my panel, but it's refusing to be a spot color! It'll automatically switch to a process color. I've gone into ink manager where there's a box to check if you want all spots to convert to process and that box is definitely not checked.

In my Swatch Options panel, the color type IS Spot, my color mode is PANTONE solid uncoated, yet where I have the color selected says "PC" and once I click "OK" is shows up in my panel as process. I feel like maybe it's a glitch or something because when I select solid uncoated, it should say "U" after my Pantone number.

I'm pretty much at my wit's end. I need to be able to fix it, just not sure how. I've even threw a hail mary and restarted both the program and my computer.

Any advice or help will be GREATLY appreciated.

How about a little more information about your set up: what version of InDesign; are you on Mac or PC; what version of OS?

 

[OptimistPrinters]

Indesign CS5, Mac OS X.

What pantone library are you looking at? PC means process coated.

Trying to look at the solid uncoated swatches. But what shows up is process coated.
This is what's happening:

Then obviously if I add the swatch it shows up as process.

Here is what mine looks like. InDesign CS5 version 7.0, OS 10.5.8 (note the details about the softwares)

Seems like the XML file keeping track of the libraries is screwed up ( solid to process is the one above in the pop up list ) Is there any way to reset the files or reinstall the books? I see 2 files under preferences one in legacy folder called "PANTONE solid uncoated.acbl" and one level upp is "PANTONE solid uncoated.acb" (full path:"/Applications/CS5/Adobe InDesign CS5/Presets/Swatch Libraries")
Do you get this on one or all computers? Here seems to work ok.

Have you tried resetting your InDesign preferences?
