Robert -
AFAIK you can't (directly) write/edit geometries in tab based layer in
QGIS.
However, you can create a new _shape_ layer, do the adding/editing in
this layer and then right-click the layer in the layer manager and
choose the "Save As" menu option. The "save as" dialogue gives you the
possibility to save the (shape) layer as a tab-file.
Another option is directly to send the shape file to your MapInfo user.
MapInfo can read and use shape files.

Apologies for a very basic newbie's question.
I have been sent a georeferenced JPEG with its associated .tab file
created in Mapinfo which I was able to open in QGIS and add a new
shapefile layer for them.
As far as I can tell however, I can only save the result as a raster
file, PDF or, possibly a SVG (Scaleable Vector Graphic) to return it
to them. At the moment therefore, it looks as though the 'project'
will not work and will have to be abandoned.
Is anyone able to tell me if there is a 'workaround' which will
enable me to create files (e.g .tab) in QGIS that will be readable in
Mapinfo?
My needs are very simple: I just need to use Mapinfo jpeg and tab
files in QGIS, add vector layers, and return the files to a Mapinfo user.
