Default Different autoformat options for different templates?

Is it possible to have different autoformat options for different
templates? For instance, in one type of document I want two hyphens to
be converted to an em dash, as Word does by default -- but in another
type of document I want two hyphens to remain as two hyphens.

I'm relatively confident I could write VBA code to set the options as
desired, but before I go down that road I'd like to know if there's a
more straightforward way.

I'm using Word 2010, in case that matters.

I believe the easiest solution in cases such as this one would be to Undo the
automatic correction by pressing Ctrl+Z immediately when it occurs.
