The page describes the process of manipulating the order of the attributes of a shapefile and deleting attributes. To do this in QGIS it is necessary to install a plugin titled "Table Manager".<br>
The "Layer Properties" has some of the functionality, for example creating a new real (numeric) attribute using the properties options allows you to specify the number of decimals. Creating a new attribute using table manager does not allow that functionality. However, despite having a button to delete attributes in the properties dialogue, this needs to be done with the Table Manager plugin. I suspect that this will change with newer versions of QGIS, in the interim a combination of the two methods seems to be t hethe best option.

Line 12:
To use the plugin, select the shapefile you want to change in the "Layer" control and then select ''Plugins >>> Table >>> Table Manager'' from the menu. In the dialogue are options for changing the order of attributes, deleting and creating attributes.
