How to suppress unwanted AutoCorrect?

[Dodiad]

I am using Word 2004 for Mac under OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). My documents are
technical manuals for several of my company's products. They include frequent
references to a couple of products named eMMS and eCDDB, with an initial
lowercase letter followed by all caps for the rest of the word. When I type
these names from the keyboard, Word insists on "correcting" the
capitalization to Emms and Ecddb, respectively. I have gone to the
AutoCorrect dialog and disabled all options except "Straight quotes to smart
quotes," but it still keeps applying this unwanted "correction." How do I get
it to simply accept what I type instead of what it thinks I really mean?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Add the correct spelling as autocorrect entries.

If the Mac version uses similar dialogs to Word 2003, then the option that
controls this would be Tools > Autocorrect Options >Autocorrect > Correct
accidental use of Caps lock. The smart quote option is on the autoformat as
you type dialog.

It would seem to me to be more productive to add eMMS and eCDDB as
"exceptions" on the INitial CAps (or Other) tab.
