I work for a company that begins with a lowercase letter followed by a number... call it "x4 Solutions Inc". I start a lot of sentences with "x4 Solutions" and both word and outlook capitalize the "x". The lower case x is important for our branding so I am constantly fighting the auto-correct.



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.

It would probably be better to correct X4 with x4 Solutions or x4 Solutions Inc and save a little typing. CTRL+Z will undo the correction on the odd occasion when X4 does not relate to the company name.
