# About the View component

The View component uses File Content Extraction filters to convert documents into HTML format for display in a Web browser. It can convert locally stored documents, as well as documents from an intranet or Internet source. It can also retrieve the document in its original format.

View can convert documents to HTML from many different formats, including:

- word processing documents

- spreadsheets

- presentations

- graphics files

- CAD Drawings

- email messages

When you convert documents, you can select terms for highlighting. During the conversion process, View sends a `Highlight` action to the Content component. When the document is displayed, it includes highlighting for the specified terms.
