 Adding Exceptions to the AutoCorrect List

You can prevent AutoCorrect from correcting specific abbreviations or 
words that have mixed capital letters and lowercase letters.

1.

   Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect - AutoCorrect Options*, and then click
   the *Exceptions* tab.

2.

   Do one of the following:

   Type the abbreviation followed by a period in the *Abbreviations (no
   subsequent capital) *box and click *New*.

   Type the word in the *Words with TWo INitial CApitals *box and click
   *New*.

Tip Icon

        

To quickly undo an AutoCorrect replacement, press Ctrl+Z. *This also 
adds the word or abbreviation that you typed to the AutoCorrect 
exceptions list.*

Here is the copy from the Help section. It says there, the Ctrl+Z action 
adds something to the excecption list.

The problem: there *** IS NO *** (c) in the replacement list.
(only (R))
I have looked at least twice. In all three languages I use.
About the two initial caps: in the exception section I have only two 
choices: abbreviations (with a period) or two initial caps.
Where else would I have put my request?

I just entered (c) under "Replace" AND "With". For now, that seems to be 
working.
Although this seems to be a very strange behavior to me.

Thank you!
