Hello, and welcome to Vista Forums!

No, but there is an easy way. Make the folders you need. Open up your current (messy) documents folder. Click Type on the top bar to sort by type of file (file extension). Single click on the first (Word) document, hold down the Shift (thick up arrow used to make capitals) and single click on the last (Word) document. Scrolling with the mouse wheel is fine. This will select all word documents. Now right click on any one, and either cut and paste, or copy and paste into the new folders. Copy and paste may be safer, and make sure all the files still exist before deleting the old ones, and nothing gets accidentally deleted. Now repeat this selection and copy-and-paste process on all types of files.

Done!
