You might want to look into desktop publishing. While it will require an
investment into a laser printer (most probably postscript compatible),
the income can repay the investment over time. 

Organizations to pitch to: anyone doing a newsletter (schools, churches)
restaurants (for menus), small advertisers (although most newspapers do
this for minimal charge). Also, sales organizations have a need for
someone to organize/layout presentations.

One thought to keep in mind is training. Regardless of the avenue your
wife may choose to pursue, she will not have an income for a while. It
will take time (twice as much as you plan :-) to learn the application(s) 
and to find customers. The first few assignments will take FOREVER to
complete; throwing in the towel will seem like a reasonably good idea.
But take courage - it does get easier. Honest:-)
