Bullets of a list are exported with a character which is not proper for plain text. The indentation of the bullet is also not exported. As a workaround, the incorrect bullet character could be replaced with something more suitable. Here is an example: TxtFormatProvider textFormatProvider = new TxtFormatProvider(); exportedText = textFormatProvider.Export(this.radRichTextBox.Document); string newText = exportedText.Replace((char)61623, (char)8226);
