Default How to suppress unwanted AutoCorrect?

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.

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.
