Well, it would look like text; most DOS word processors were not WYSIWYG, but used text mode, using colors to designate that a certain chunk of text was special, whether by face, weight, color, whatever. But it should still print fine, if you can figure out how to print. The print preview, if it has one and it works, would be right too.
