You can insert a view of a list or document library onto any page in your SharePoint site that has a .aspx filename extension. Your site's Home page, along with Web Part Pages in the site's document libraries are .aspx pages. Although you can insert a view anywhere on a .aspx page, we recommend that you insert the view into a Web Part zone on the page. By inserting the view in a Web Part zone, you can take advantage of additional features, such as the ability to connect one list view to another from your browser.

Note  Web Part zones on .aspx pages are outlined and labeled in FrontPage. To verify that an area of a page is a Web Part zone, right-click it and make sure that the Web Part Zone Properties command is available.

1. Open the page on which you want to insert the list or document library view and click the place on the page where you want to insert the view of the list.
2. On the Data menu, click Insert Web Part.
3. In the Web Parts task pane, in the Web Part List list, click the list that you want to insert, and then click Insert Selected Web Part.
