Open Files from SharePoint in "Protected" mode by default

Many users have complained about "auto save" as people open a file and start working on it immediately, not realising their changes are being saved.

I know that you can use protection in Office, if the author sets it.

• This is a good option forcing people to "think" before editing

My Question 

• Is it possible to set this as the default either 
  • for all documents in a specific library and/or
  • for specific users
