There's a README.txt file that comes with the DocumentLibrary product 
that will answer some of these questions.  Things to look at: Do you 
have permission to submit documents, review documents, and submit 
documents without review?

Look at the product in the ZMI. Take a look at the Security tab in the 
ZMI.  You'll see that the Document Library instance has a property 
called document_types that will let you define  'types' that show in 
the dropdown.  The Document Library does work out of the box, but you 
may still want to define properties and permissions to suite your own 
needs.
