Yeah. If you put the following piece of postscript in the header of the
document, choose Shift-Style from the menu and select the 'postscript'
style, it'll print a box around the printing portion of each page. You can
then use a footer to put the class name on the page as well.

	.page. wp$box stroke

Powerpoint may be overkill. An easier & more flexible option might be to
borrow a copy of Adobe Illustrator or Freehand to generate the box (then you
could use rounded corners and put the class-name IN the line). Export that
as EPS, then load that into Word. Prettier.
