MS Word Spell Checking Functionality

MS Word has a spell check functionality, once you complete writing a document if you press on F7 then spell and grammar check will start and suggests a word for each wrongly spelt word. Also, their is a feature for replacing all the occurances of one mis-spelt word with other. Lets say the text is :
Testing software cin also CIN also Cin and also CiN and also cIN
Now press F7, it will show the cin as mis-spelt word and suggest can as write word and there is option to change all these mis-spelt words at one go, so the expected result after this operation will be :
Testing software can also CAN also Can and also Can and also can [Assuming it replaces irrespective of case or else it should prompt user when CIN appears, since it can be abbrevation for some word]
But what actually happens is :
Testing software can also CAN also Can and also CiN and also cIN [It replaces the first three occurances of cin and promts for 4th occurance, I could'nt understand the logic here]

I am not sure if this is a bug or by design, lets hope Microsoft guys will respond to this and clarify.
