We have descided that she will make them use the header function in the OO word processor and then she will dock their grade X number of points for each wasted page. Thanks for the thoughts though.

Since just about everything is printed in postscript, you are out of luck, as postscript is a horrible language to go into and look for stuff (come to think about it, it just horrible).
