Here's what typing "turn off automatic capitalization" into the help box 
brings up:

  Turn on or off AutoCorrect options


On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
To select the options, do one or more of the following:
To show or hide the AutoCorrect Options buttons, select or clear the Show 
AutoCorrect Options buttons check box.
To set the capitalization options, select or clear the next five check boxes 
in the dialog box.
To turn on or off the AutoCorrect entries, select or clear the Replace text 
as you type check box.
To turn on or off the spelling checker corrections, select the Replace text 
as you type check box, and then select or clear the Automatically use 
suggestions from the spelling checker check box.
Note  To select the Automatically use suggestions from the spelling checker 
check box, you must first turn on automatic spell checking (On the Tools 
menu, click Options, and on the Spelling & Grammar tab, select the Check 
spelling as you type check box.

Tip

You can undo a correction or turn AutoCorrect options on or off by clicking 
an option on the AutoCorrect Options button . The button first appears as a 
small, blue box when you rest the mouse pointer near text that is 
automatically corrected, and it changes to a button icon when you point to it.

Seems pretty straightforward for an expert to understand. :-)
