ABSTRACT:
In response to a user pasting data within a clipboard to a desktop for an object management facility, a new object for the data is created. The data is placed within the new object, and an icon is displayed on the desktop for the new object. When the data is text, the new object is created to be of a type which contains text. When the data is bitmapped, the new object is created to be of a type which contains bitmaps. The data is placed in the clipboard, for example, in response to a Cut command or in response to a Copy command from an application process originally processing the data. The data can reformatted, for example, before exporting the data from the application process, before importing the data to the new object or after importing the data to the new object. Also, in response to a user selecting a first object and issuing a conversion command, classes of objects into which the first object may be converted are displayed to the user. Upon the user selecting a class of objects into which the first object is to be converting, the first object is converted into a new object of the selected class of objects. The new object is created, data from the first object is extracted and sent to the new object. The data may be converted to a format usable by the first object, by the new object or by the object management facility.
