Well you can export all object data from the object editor, same goes for trigger editor and import manager.

File --> Export all object data (Object Editor)
File --> Export triggers (Trigger Editor)
File --> Export all files (Import manager)

But there is a probably an solution to extract all the map data with a 3rd party program. Casc viewer or such could be what you are looking for.

Unfortunately I have not used 3rd party programs to extract map data so this is all I got for you this time.

Open your map, zoom out, make sure Textures/Cliffs are deselected in the Terrain Palette, select from one corner of the map and drag your mouse across the entire terrain, press control + C (copy), open the other map, press control + P (paste) and line everything up.

For Units/Doodads you can press Control + A to select all of them and copy and paste them from one map to the other.

I imagine things will break if the copied Unit/Doodad data doesn't exist in the new map.

If the map is huge then you'll probably want to break it up into chunks.

I tried that already the other day...

the terrain is OK, but you have to paste all units and doodads by dragging the mouse. Ans when you have such a huge paste, the lag is huge.

Use an mpq editor and copy war3map.w3e file (optionally war3map.doo for doodads and war3mapUnits.doo for units).
