Please use Paragraph.IsListItem property to check either paragraph is an item in a bulleted or numbered list.

To get the string representation of list label, please use ListLabel.LabelString property. Please check the following code example. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "iniput.docx");
doc.UpdateListLabels();
int listParaCount = 1;

foreach (Paragraph paragraph in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true).OfType<Paragraph>())
{
    // Find if we have the paragraph list. In our document our list uses plain arabic numbers,
    // which start at three and ends at six.
    if (paragraph.ListFormat.IsListItem)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Paragraph #{0}", listParaCount);

        // This is the text we get when actually getting when we output this node to text format. 
        // The list labels are not included in this text output. Trim any paragraph formatting characters.
        String paragraphText = paragraph.ToString(SaveFormat.Text).Trim();
        Console.WriteLine("Exported Text: " + paragraphText);

        ListLabel label = paragraph.ListLabel;
        // This gets the position of the paragraph in current level of the list. If we have a list with multiple level then this
        // will tell us what position it is on that particular level.
        Console.WriteLine("Numerical Id: " + label.LabelValue);

        // Combine them together to include the list label with the text in the output.
        Console.WriteLine("List label combined with text: " + label.LabelString + " " + paragraphText);

        listParaCount++;
    }
}

Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the behavior of MS Word. If you export the bullet and number list to TXT format using MS Word, you will get the same output.

Could you please ZIP and attach your expected TXT output here for our reference? We will then provide you more information about your query

In case you are using old version of Aspose.Words, we suggest you please use the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET 20.2.

Moreover, you are facing the expected behavior of Aspose.Words. You shared the expected output in Word document. The text file format does not support such rich content supported by MS Word. To check this behavior, please copy the content of each table’s cell and paste them into Notepad.

Hope this answers your query. Please let us know if you have any more queries.
