+The OGR layer converter plugin allows to convert vector data from one OGR-supported 
+vector format to another OGR-supported vector format. It is very simple to handle and 
+provides functionalities as shown in Figure \ref{fig:ogrconverter_dialog}. The 
+supported formats can vary according to the installed GDAL/OGR package.
 
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Source Format/Datset/Layer}: Enter OGR format and path to the vector file to be converted
+\item \textbf{Target Format/Datset/Layer}: Enter OGR format and path to the vector output file
+\end{itemize}

+\begin{enumerate}
+  \item Start QGIS, load the OGR converter plugin in the Plugin Manager (see Section 
+  \ref{sec:load_core_plugin}) and click on the \toolbtntwo{ogr_converter}{OGR Layer Converter} 
+  icon which appears in the QGIS toolbar menu. The OGR Layer Converter plugin dialog appears as shown in Figure \ref{fig:ogrconverter_dialog}.
+  \item Select the OGR-supported format \selectstring{ESRI Shapefile}{\ldots} and the path to the vector input file \filename{alaska.shp} in the Source area.
+  \item Select the OGR-supported format \selectstring{GML}{\ldots} and define a path and the vector output filename \filename{alaska.gml} in the Target area.
