Proofing and AutoCorrect are unrelated features (except insofar as they both
help towards correcting one's spelling) - it isn't a question of one
overriding the other.
As for the rest of what you say, I'm not sure I fully understand, but I can
not replicate anything approaching it - I always get CNA replaced by CAN,
regardless of other settings.

Word 2007 "Ignore words in UPPER case" is checked and works however it is
overridden by the "Auto-Correct/auto format "replace text as you type"
feature.
Add the letters cna to your "replace text list" and replace it with can, a
common typo... then in a new doc type CNA somewhere in your doc and word
will
replace it with CAN... this holds true for other combos as well TEH to
THE..
etc etc.
cna and teh are in the auto format list by default as well as others but
you
can't see them unless you try to add them...
Oddly enough if you type CNA as the first 3 letter of a new doc it will
not
be changed...
Something wrong with this logic I think
