Hi-
Under the Share Docs section, you are able to Create a new Word doc - Is 
there a way to also create New Excel spreadsheets from inside SharePoint.  I 
thought I had read that, but now can not find instructions for how to set it 
up.   ANY help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly 
appreciated!

thanks!!!! - Cindy

There are several different solutions, depending on what you actually wish 
to achieve. The type of document that is created when you click the New 
button is dependant on the template associated with that library. By default 
this is, as you noted, the Word template. You can change this to another 
file format by going into the Library Settings > Advanced Settings and 
changing the Document template to say, an .xslx file. If you want to be able 
to create new Word or Excel files in the same library, then you will need to 
set the library to Allow management of content types and add a new content 
that uses the different file types as their templates.
