# Export selected objects

If you just want to export a few objects at a time you can use copy and paste.

1. Select the objects you want to export
2. Choose Edit→Copy
3. Paste the objects into another application

### What will I get when I use paste in the other application?

- If the other application accepts text then you should get the SQL representation of the object as text.
- If the other application supports SQLEditor object format then you will get a representation of the objects.

The SQLEditor document's dialect is used when exporting objects in this way, you cannot change the dialect during the copying process.
