The present invention provides an improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for providing source information from an object originating from a first document and inserted into a second document. The present invention automatically generates source information for an object that is cut or copied from a document and inserted into another document. The source information may be stored, hidden, or pasted into the second document, and also may automatically trigger the generation of a footnote for the second document. An application supplies the source information that the window manager extracts when an object is cut or copied from a document. The window manager requests the source information from the application displaying the first document. The application displaying the second document accepts the source information from the window manager when an object originating from the first document is inserted into the second document.
