Default Group policy to disable changing defaults

A better approach is to teach students to customize Word in every possible
way (including toolbar customization, creating styles, etc.) and have
software that resets everything to its defaults when they quit Word or
restart Windows. Our public library uses an application called Deep Freeze
that does this (see http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.asp).

I am in a K12 school setting. We have students that change the font and set
that as the default or they change page layout and set that as the
default.
Other users then have to go back and switch back to the actual default
setting. I want to prevent this from happening.

Is there a group policy to disable users from changing the default
settings
in Office 2007, Word in particular?
