# View Documents

(Available for View and Proxy components.)

The View page in the Control menu allows you to convert documents into HTML to display in a web browser. The `View` action performs the conversion. For more information about the `View` action, see the View Component Help.

To view a document in your web browser

1. Type the document reference into the text box. The reference can be:

   - a document in the local file system, for example:
     `C:\Documents\report.doc`

   - a document on an intranet site, for example:
     `//intranet/report.doc`

   - a web page or document accessible on the Internet, for example:
     `http://news.bbc.co.uk`

2. If your document references have a common format, you can configure a standard prefix in the View component configuration file to add to each document reference. If you select the Use reference prefix check box, Knowledge Discovery Admin adds this prefix to the `View` action automatically.

   For more information on using the `ReferencePrefix` and `UseReferencePrefix` parameters, see the View Component Help.

3. Click View.

   The document opens in your web browser.
