I have created a file in Indesign and when I run the preflight the following error message appears.

Problem: Content generates cyan, magenta or yellow plate.

Fix: Edit the source file. Apply black or a spot colour where CMY colours are used.

I am sure this has been answered somewhere on this forum, but I am just not understanding it.

Can someone please give it to me in 'dummy' version please.

Whether you can use these color plates or not is something you need to ask your printer.
