Default Force Office to remove Read Only status?

Is there some way to force Office to remove the read only status of an open document?
I frequently have documents open that are stored on the network. I also need to move my laptop around and sometimes I end up in a place where there is no network access. When that happens all my open documents get converted to Read Only. Eventually I reconnect to the network but when I try to save the documents, my only option is to save with a different file name.
I can only guess why Microsoft did this: Maybe someone else modified the document while I was offline? I don't care! I just want to save it.
