Abstract
A method of pasting data from a source application to a destination application, where the source and destination applications are not the same; the method comprising the steps of: identifying whether the data is of text or graphics data type and selecting a text input handler if a text data type is identified and a graphics input handler if a graphics data type is identified; converting the data using the text or graphics input handler to a standard format for pasting based on the identified data type; determining semantics of the data in the standard format for pasting and a location of the user in the destination application, to which the data is to be pasted; determining which portions of the data are to be pasted to which areas of the determined location in the destination application, depending on the determined semantics of the data and the location of the user in the destination application; and pasting the data to the respective areas of the destination application.
