Using Contacts with Other Office Applications

[Nigel]

I hope I'm in the correct forum.

I use my contacts folder as a source of inputting addresses when inside
Word. When I type a name the purple dotted line appears then I can click the
smart tag and choose to insert the address. However, when I use the name,
"Garry" it doesn't recognise the name, either as a name or the contact in
Outlook. I have noticed this before with other names. Is there a way around
this, so that any/every name can be recognised as a name?

Thanks
