You can find lots of detailed instructions on converting color to B&W in
a sample chapter I have posted on my Web site. 

I also have recently been using Pictographics' EditLabs plug-in to
convert color to B&W. It gives me more control than any other approach.
If you want to learn more about this approach, let me know and I'll
write up the steps and add a few screen shots.
