Is there a way to create an exception for the text "x4" so that it does not capitalize the x when starting sentences with this text?

Under Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > AutoCorrect > Exceptions it seems like I cannot create exceptions for words that contain a number. I prefer not to disable auto cap feature if possible.
It worked just now for me in Word for Office 365.

Replace: X4 Solutions With: x4 Solutions

I started typing a new paragraph, and it first defaulted to the capital X, but when I finished typing Solutions, it replaced with the lower case x.
