If you are doing a CMYK job, you don't 'replace' black with another color...
otherwise that color would be used instead of black everywhere in the
processing that black was called for. IOW, the images/colors in your file
would would print as CMY?.

What you may be looking to do is add a spot color to the job and apply that
color to any text & vectors yu want to hav printed in that color instead of
black. Perhaps this from Publisher Help will be useful;

Before you can add a new spot-color (spot color: Premixed color matched to a >standard color guide, such as PANTONE.) ink, your publication must be set up to >use spot colors.

On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and then click Color >Printing.
Under Define all colors as, click one of the following:
Spot colors
Process colors plus spot colors
When you add a new spot-color ink, you can choose a new ink from the Pantone >(Pantone: A widely-used color-matching system that defines hundreds of spot-color >inks or process colors made up of CMYK inks.) Matching System or the Windows >color palette, or define it using the the RGB (RGB: A system that describes colors >as a mixture of red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The color is defined as a set of >three >values (R,G,B). Using 0 (zero) percent of each color produces black; using >100 percent of all three colors produces white.), CMYK (CMYK: A color model for >commercial printing that produces a wide range of colors by mixing varying >percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.), or HSL (HSL: A color >model that defines a color by three values: Hue, the color itself; Saturation, the >purity of the color; and Luminance, the amount of light that is either reflected or >absorbed by the color.) color model.

On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and then click Color >Printing.
In the Color Printing dialog box, click the Inks tab, and then click New Ink.
In the New Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you want from the options >available in either the Standard or Custom tabs.
Click OK twice.

Understand that adding spot color to a cmyk job will increase the printing
cost.

Or is the problem that black is not really 100% black when it comes to CMYK?
