I haven't yet attempted to copy-paste attributes between tables. You may have to add the expected columns to the destination shapefile though.<br>
<br>
I'm not at a computer at the moment, but I wonder if there is a plugin to help with this. (Or how hard it'd be to write one?)<br>

One way to go about doing it is to make a shapefile and place a
point. Make sure that point has an attribute that relates to your
table. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You table has a record field so your shapefile has a record
field. <br />
</li>
<li>record 1 corresponds to point 1</li>
</ul>
<p>If you add data to QGIS and Right click on it (in the layers
window) you can open the properties. From there you can Join (7
menu items down on the left) data together. <br />
</p>
<p>I hope that helps some. <br />
