Default Make Autocorrect Case-Specific?

I have a word that sometimes has to be all lower-case, and sometimes has to be all upper-case. It will NEVER be Title Case. (In other words, sometimes it must appear example, sometimes EXAMPLE, never Example.)





It frequently appears at the start of sentences/paragraphs, so if I type it all lower case, the "Capitalize first letter of sentences" rules (e.g., I start a sentence by typing "example", Autocorrect turns it into Example.)


So I created an Autocorrect entry that corrects "Example" to example. Works like a charm. Unless I need it to be All-Caps. Now, when I type EXAMPLE it Autocorrects to example. I can back-space/Undo, but that is irritating.


When I try to add "EXAMPLE" to Autocorrect's "Replace" box, it actually auto-corrects in the field form to "Example"!



Is there a way - outside of Macros (which are forbidden on some work computers) - to set an entry that is case-specific? So "Example" becomes example and "EXAMPLE" stays EXAMPLE?


Thanks!
