Er, I don't think (c) has two initial capitals.

The first part - that Edit | Undo or Ctrl+Z 
undoes the automatic correction - is right, but 
I'm very surprised to hear any suggestion of 
adding something to the list of exceptions.

I think that is as intended.

o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Replace.
o Scroll down to and select the line showing the unwanted correction.
o Click Delete.
Voilà!

When you want to reinstate it:
o Select the copyright symbol in your text.
o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | 
Replace;  notice that the symbol is already in the With box.
o Type (C) in the Replace box.
o Click New.

I trust this helps.
