-\subsection{Supported OGR Formats}\label{appdx_ogr}
+QGIS uses the GDAL/OGR library to read and write vector and raster data
+formats. Note that not all of the format listed below may work in QGIS for
+various reasons. For example, some require external commercial libraries or
+the GDAL installation of your OS was not build to support the format you want
+to use. Only those formats that have been well tested will appear in the list
+of file types when loading a vector or raster into QGIS. Other untested
+formats can be loaded by selecting *.*.
