[Qgis-user] Editing Data in Attribute Table/How Do I Install MultiEdit

[Leyan]

Hi Ben,

If you work with shapefile, you can open the dbf file with LibreOffice 
and do more advanced editing here. Be careful not to delete or reorder 
lines. I agree it would be very nice to see these features included in 
the attributes editing.
