1. Typing in Tamil (non-unicode) in MS-Word

The above is 'Direct Tamil Input' in MS-Word (in non-unicode, using the Tscii font 'SaiIndira'). Steps are as follows:

1. Start Azhagi by clicking it's application icon.
2. Ensure that 'Unicode Input' under 'Preferences' menu of Azhagi is un-ticked (i.e. REMOVE the tick, if present).
3. Open MS-Word. Set it's font to SaiIndira - as circled and shown in the screenshot above.
4. Press 'F10'. Type in English and see it in Tamil. As simple as that.
   

Important Note:

• If you are using a "laptop" and 'F10' key does not seem to give the desired result, read this help tip. Solution is therein.
  
• In future, if you wish to type in MsWord using any other Tscii font instead of SaiIndira, you can do the same. Any font in your system whose name starts with 'TSC' or 'Tsc' would be a Tscii font. Further, you can download many more FREE Tscii fonts of different styles from freefonts.html.
  
• One can do Tamil typing using Tscii fonts in other Windows applications like MS-Excel, MS-Access, etc. too.
