The only way I can suggest is to download and use Open Office. In saying that, I think OO is hard to get onto a mac.
It sounds like her subject area is the same as a few of our subject areas at Otago Polytech. Her material would prompt me to go and talk to our departments and urge them to join in. Randy, perhaps you could help her get an index page going for what she plans to put up? Have her decide on a main page name (hopefully something generic and focused on what the content is rather than the institution and its certificate structures). Then on that page use section titles and list the various page she intends to load up. You could do this on the phone with her to start, with her dictating to you what to put in. And you ask her to refresh her screen to see your edits. When she is happy that all the main page is in the right area, its a matter of deciding whether pages become subpages or main pages in their own right. IMO, we all need to play ths hand holding role with people - especially those with the intension to start and 'finish' a range of content. Behind the scenes I will be watching and trying to encourage the teachers we have here in her field to want to meet her and discuss collaboration. I would try and do this at your completion of the main index page, because we may get lucky and end up with teachers here who are ready and willing to jump in and help. At which point I would start doing the same as I'm urging you to do, but with the teachers here.
