Certain words like Allies are automatically capitalized. How do I
stop that?

If this happens every time you type the word, even in the middle of a line,
then you probably have an AutoCorrect entry for that word. Select that entry
in the Tools > AutoCorrect Options dialog and click the Delete button.

If it happens only at the beginning of a line, then it's the AutoFormat As
You Type option "Capitalize first word of sentence". Uncheck that option.

In either case, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm
for more help.
