		<li>Open this saved file in Notepad</li>
		<li>Click on File -&gt; Save As</li>
		<li>File Name: &lt;your filename&gt;.csv<br />
			Save as type: Text Documents (*.txt)<br />
			Encoding: UTF-8
		</li>
		<li>Click on Save</li>
	</ol>
	<br />
	OpenOffice or LibreOffice Users:<br />
	<ol>
		<li>While saving as CSV, check "Edit Filter Settings".</li>
		<li>You will be prompted for Encoding.</li>
