I agree

     * (3) I also like "Open" better, since it clearly says what will

I agree too

I think it is for one reason. Sometimes (not often I think), people get
presention files (example), and they not always know what it is : Someone
can have sent it to them without explaining "Hy it's a presentation" or "Hy,
it's a text document". THey just get the document. Just for this reason, and
because I think it should'nt be very complicated to add, I think there
should be an "Any" section on the left.

Then, I think it's important to choose the order of the items in the two
parts (it can reduce the amount of time to find the good format) : I think
that order them by "popularity" is good :

Document type part:

    - Text Document
    - Spreadsheet Slideshow
    - Presentation Slideshow
    - Web Document
    - Drawing
    - Formula

File format part :
    - Open Document
    - Microsoft Word 2003 xml (.doc)
    - Microsoft Word 2007 (.docx)

As you can see, I indicate file extension as it's always significant for a
lot of people.
