Default How do I work 'offline' in Word while still 'on line'?

Are the locations in Tools=Options=File locations set to look at the local hard drive as primary location?

Is the printer driver in File=Print one on the network or a local driver?

I synch files from server to hard drive every time I switch PC off. Quite
often when I am at a remote location I want to access a file that is on my
hard drive rather than access the server version as it has a minimal
download/access time. However, latest XP automatically looks at server
version first which takes forever to download. In old days with 'My
briefcase' this problem did not exist. Short of logging off, how do I get the
system to access offline version of files preferentially if I am online?
