New Document Other Than Word

I noticed when I go to create a new document from a shared documents library that it only gives the option for a Word document. How do you add the ability to add a new Excel document?

I am sure you guessed my next question. How do I do this? Do I just need to create a generic document library with excel as the default document type and then you will be able to choose Word or Excel as the document type when you click new?

I created a another library using the excel document as the default. This works fine to be able to create an excel document but it still only gives the option for one type of document. I want the user to be able to choose from a list of doc types when they click the new document button.

you'll want to use content types to have different kinds of document templates:
