The Name Gallery gives you information about the current document. It lists:

image\BULLET.gif Named objects in the document - you can name objects using either the Name gallery or the Selector Tool

image\BULLET.gif Fonts used in the document - the Text Tool and Font Gallery control using fonts

image\BULLET.gif Bitmaps used in the document - note that these are bitmaps currently used in the document. The Bitmap Gallery lists both currently used and deleted bitmaps.

image\BULLET.gif Named Colors used in the document - note that only Named Colors are listed, not Local Colors.

Against each item (name, font, bitmap, or color) you can see if the item is used in the current selection. See below for more details.
