Alternatively you could use
man sh | col -b > sh.txt
which produces the exact same result (verified by using diff).
To read a man page into a document from within vi use
:r! man sh | col -b
which is pretty handy when you want to include extracts from manpages
like the following from col(1)
NAME
col - filter reverse line feeds from input
[...]
-b Do not output any backspaces, printing only the last
character written to each column position.
