The present invention provides a solution of transferring a data object between files through copy/paste, in which not only the filtered data object which is adapted to the format and/or function of a destination file is explicitly written to the destination file, but also the original data object information is implicitly written to the destination file, and the map relationship between them is established, so that the whole original information of the transferred data object is reserved during the transfer between files. In subsequent copy/paste operations, the user may choose to use the original data object corresponding to the data object in the transfer of the data object or not based on the actual situation and particular needs, so that the problem of information loss in the process of transferring a data object between files through copy/paste operation is solved effectively.
