I type "cc:" Word wants to change it to "Cc:". I have tried to enter this
under AutoCorrect Exceptions "INitial CAps"; however, the "Add" button is
greyed out for some reason.

Any suggestions other than turn off auto cap feature?

Hi Suzanne:

Thanks much, except I type it as "cc:" and the ":" is not being accepted.
Any other suggestions?

Don't include the colon. It works just fine without. The colon (or any other
punctuation) is what would otherwise trigger the AutoCorrect action.

FYI - I was just given this solution from an outside friend; go ahead and
type "cc:" and then type "Ctrl+Z" and it kept it as "cc:".

Not quite sure how/why this worked, but it did.

Undo (Ctrl+Z) reverses the AutoCorrect action. But adding it to the
Exceptions will save you from having to do even that.
