the original question was:
Hi There,
How do i format the output of man pages to remove the unusual
characters in the output ,
SU _d_a_t_e _t_i_m_e _r_e_s_u_l_t _p_o_r_t
_u_s_e_r-_n_e_w_u_s_e_r

i.e., instead of "man date", use:
man date | col -bx | more
or (for a not-yet-installed raw man page doc you want to view):
nroff -man date.1 | col -bx | more

Try:
man su | col -b > su.txt

I will like to thank all the others that provided solution
