# Text-to-object pasting options

Whether you're working with a structured CSV file or a bulleted list, the "Paste as" feature allows you to convert text-based content into a format that best suits your needs, like mind maps or sticky notes.

## Using the “Paste as” feature 
To copy your content from one format and paste it into another format:

1. Select the content you wish to convert and copy it using `Command` + `C` (Mac) or `Control` + `C` (PC).
2. Open the board where you want to paste the content.
3. Right-click anywhere within the board to bring up the context menu.
4. In the context menu, select the "Paste as" option. A submenu will appear, allowing you to select the format you want your content to be pasted as.

**Tip:** You can also copy and paste tables directly into Whimsical boards from Google Sheets, Numbers, or Excel 👌

**Note:**
- The available paste options will depend on the content you've copied.
- Some paste options also support rich text formatting, links, and images.
