Just purchased Office 2003 with Excel-Power Point-Word,etc.

How do I separate these files separately, but in each
individual bucket ie:all Power Point(.ppt) under MY
DOCUMENTS.
All Excel(.xls) under My Documents.etc.
 
Are you wanting separate subfolders for each of these files or just want to
be able to filter on the file type?

To put each of these in their own subfolder, go to My Documents in Explorer
and create the desired subfolders. Then in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, tell
them to use these folders as the default.

Word - Tools|Options|File Locations tab, change the Documents setting.
Excel - Tools|Options|General tab, change the Default File Location setting.
PowerPoint - Tools|Options|Save tab, change the Default File Location
setting.

To filter on the file type, in the File Open dialog, click the bottom drop
down box and pick the type of file you want to see.
