on groff i've used this cmd to format the text
groff -Tascii < normal.txt | sed 's/^/ /'$1 > formatted.txt
on nroff what would be the cmd?

fomatted.
thanks in advance.
Most probably nroff / groff
Take a look at the info from the authoring tools at rfceditor:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/formatting.html
*formatted.
i've downloaded NroffEdit but when i open the ASCII text i want to
convert/format, it says "Not a valid nroff I-D"
what should i do?
Erm, you did open the output file (as pointed to), _not_ the
source file? You're trying to "edit text in a document you've
scanned". :-)
The output text can be edited with any text editor (vi, emacs,
joe, mcedit, whichever is your favourite), but it will be kept
in this format as it _has been_ generated that way (past tense).
In order to change formatting, you need the SOURCE file with
the macros. (Compare: HTML files rendered by browser: output
looks different than input; to change it, you need to edit
the HTML source.)
You can compare that to editing a man page: You need the page's
source (like found in /usr/src/share/examples/mdoc/example.1).
The text's SOURCE file would have looked similarly I assume.
THAT is the input format you need for the "NroffEdit" WYSIWYG
"text" editor.
