What wordprocessors is your wife used to?
Would a text editor be okay instead?

I hear that dosemu can run Wordperfect 5.1 but I have not tried it yet.
You could also try DOS WORD in dosemu.  It is a free download.
These are both console programs (no X needed).


FLWriter does not work in mono either.  (Or in 4-bit color).
I don't know about TED.  LEdit (X-based) crashed immediately for me.
