appending

Someone told me that when you want to copy something for mone file to another you append it but when i try that it asks me what i want it as an object or mesh etc. What do i do from here.

File >> Append, navigate to your file and leftclick on it, choose Object (white) and choose your Object from the lib with MMB (middle mouse button).

%<

Do i go in to the file that i want the image to goe to or the file that i have the object in and my object isnt in the lib(whats this).

Never mind i got it ^^^
