Default PMS color code question

Can anyone with experience in Photoshop or Adobe Indesign tell me how to find out the PMS color code for a certain color? Thanx

Haha I thought this was going to be a question on how to interpret female PMS levels... Like if she gets irritable, it's a yellow level, but if she's REALLY pissed, if an Orange or Red alert!

actually they are PMS. in photoshop where your toolbar is
double click the color block of the color you want the pantone code for, that will bring up a window where you can change the color, there should be a button that says custom in the top right of that window. When you click the custom button it automatically opens a window that gives the cloesest possible PMS color. If you need further instruction PM me.
