If you later want to add more items to the folder:

2. In the gallery, click "DISC DESIGNS/FILLS/FONTS". This opens a dialog box.
3. Use the dialog box to select the folder you want to add.
4. Click "UPDATE" to update the section in the gallery.

Deleting sections from a gallery
To delete a section from a gallery (CLIPART, FILL & FONTS galleries only):

1. Click on the title strip of the section or sections you want to delete.
2. Click "REMOVE".

If you later want the section again, add its folder to the gallery (described earlier).

Closing a gallery
By default a gallery’s AUTO HIDE button is enabled (i.e., the gallery’s AUTO HIDE button in
the top right corner is unpinned), so that the gallery closes automatically when you move
the mouse pointer away from it.

However if you have disabled the AUTO HIDE button (pinned the gallery), you have to
close the gallery manually.

To close a free-floating gallery, click the CLOSE button in the top right of the gallery. The
gallery closes and its tab is displayed in the gallery bar.

To close a docked gallery, click the AUTO HIDE (pin) or CLOSE button in the top right of the
gallery. The gallery closes and its tab is displayed in the workspace border where you
docked it.

To re-open the gallery, hover over or click on its tab.

Note: To remove a gallery completely, choose GALLERIES from the UTILITIES menu and
choose the gallery you want removed.

The Name Gallery
The NAME GALLERY gives you information about the current document, and is an easy
way to manage the various elements of your document. It lists:
• Names – you can name objects using either the NAME GALLERY or the NAMES DIALOG
(via NAMES BUTTON in the SELECTOR TOOL).
• Fonts used – if you have text in your document, then the used fonts will be listed.
• Bitmaps used – a list of bitmaps currently used.
• Colors used – The USED COLORS section of the NAME GALLERY lists the colors used.
• Styles used – Use this section of the gallery to select text on the current page that
uses a given style.
