	I am building up a collection of several thousand documents typically
used in the electronic office. It would seem a good idea to divide the
collection into sub-categories according to document type.
	Does anyone know of any work done on identifying different document 
types which might be used as category identifiers eg. Letters, Memos, Reports 
etc.  Any references will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance -
