man intro >> intro.txt
or to whatever existing txt file you have.
>> will append all the content to the bottom of that txt file.
> will replace all content in that file

Or if you are using KDE, fireup konqueror and type: man:intro on the url location.
You can select from there and paste to whatever text editor you are using.
