Then the question is what do you want the replacement's character casing to look like? If you want the character casing to conform to the found match's, I don't think you can do that with a grep replace pattern. If your replacement is just a character string of a particular character casing format (e.g., MyRePlAcEmEnT) then all you have to do is put that in the "Replace:" field and in the "Find:" field Word(?i) That will find all forms of character casing of "word" and replace it with MyRePlAcEmEnT.
