MS Office 2003 Author change

Is there a way to change the author of documents created by word, excel, etc,
so that it reflects the user that is logged in and not the organization? I
would like to create a script so this is done automatically but it seems that
UserInfo in the registry is encrypted. Is there a way around this or an
additional key that can be entered? This is to prevent students from copying
other student's work in an Office class.
