1. I performed your experiment and it did not work as you suggested. In fact, the program highlighted Mr.Smith as being in error in English(Canadian)
Perhaps the version of Word may have something to do with it.
2. A friend who teaches in Surrey, BC advises that a space is put betweem Mr. and the last name of the person.
3. Here is a sample business letter written by a Canadian concern:

Note the space between Mr. and Jennings.
