The words that Word "corrects" to init caps probably are in the spellcheck dictionary with caps. Ones that it ignores the caps for probably are not in the dictionary, or may be in the dictionary both ways making it ambiguous/optional.

You can turn off automatic spell check and eliminate the problem, but most people find it "mostly harmless." Spellcheck generally "suggests" corrections, while AutoCorrect/AutoReplace puts them in immediately. (Ctl-Z before you continue typing will back out an AutoCorrect change.)

More subtly, if a word appears in the dictionary, and hence gets capitalization other than what you want, the "correct procedure" is to enter the word to which spellcheck changes your typing in the AutoCorrect function (Replace as you type), and tell it to change it back to what you typed. (AutoCorrect/AutoReplace "executes" after Spellcheck.)

Spell check is mostly controlled in Tools|Options, Spelling and Grammar tab. AutoReplace is at Tools|AutoCorrect Options.
