Now comes the task of saving the Telugu content into files.

1) You can copy the converted content in Telugu in Lekhini Telugu Dialog and paste it in Notepad/Word pad/MS Word. These are to be preferred in the mentioned order.

Only if you do not have Unicode support in Notepad/Wordpad try in MS Word. In most of the cases Notepad would be having the support in Windows XP Operating System.

Once you save your document you can print them. The problem in this way of saving is, when you carry the documents to another system which is of different OS and other settings Telugu Literals might not be seen. That’s why converting to pdf is a better option.
