Well, let's be frank, Scribus is no Quark. :-) It really depends on how deep a Quark user your wife is, but Scribus is quite a usable page layout program. I've not done any thing horridly complex with it, but it's much better than Appleworks. You might try iWork; Pages is more a decent low-end page layout program than a word processor, really; but when I've used it, it's been more reminiscent of Pagemaker or Ready Set Go than Quark.
