For the record, the word listing could also a verb: "I am listing the reasons why I want to quit my job."

The only way I can make any sense out of this is to imagine a collection of different documents, each of which contains a detailed listing of something. Since you have supplied zero context, I do not know what the intended meaning is. In other words, "listing documents" would be interpreted to mean "documents that list something." This is not entirely out of the question; but again, when you supply no information about the intended meaning, I'm working with my hands tied behind my back.

Fine, if you mean one document that lists a bunch of other documents. Is that what you mean?
