It looks OK here too, and I agree with your analysis. There is one other
possible though unlikely explanation:
In particular, what is the orphan Hope_Anu bit all about?
I assume it is intended to be the name of a bookmark in the included
document. If the included document happens to contain a "{" character and
that is the only character that has been bookmarked (probably wrongly) as
"Hope_Anu", then the result would be as described.

It works here - my guess is that you have not used CTRL+F9 for each pair
of field boundaries. In particular, what is the orphan Hope_Anu bit all
about? Something along the lines of
{ INCLUDETEXT { IF{ =AND ({ COMPARE{ MERGEFIELD Hope_Fund_Flag \*upper} =
"Y" },{ COMPARE{ MERGEFIELD ABC_Flag \*upper} = "Y" }) }= 1
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\piazzaj.000\\Desktop\\Mail Merge Merge\\Hope
Fund Status.doc" "C:\\Documents and Settings\\piazzaj.000\\Desktop\\Mail
Merge Merge\\Blank.doc"} }
should prove more reliable. In this instance you will have to create a
blank document for the Nul condition or you will get an error message.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong with formatting
the "IF" test below. I have compared it repeatedly to examples on the
Web. When I toggle out of the field code view, instead of
disappearing I see a shaded "{". The validator finds no errors.
{IF { = AND ( { COMPARE { MERGEFIELD Hope_Fund_Flag } = "Y"}, {
COMPARE { MERGEFIELD ABC_Flag } = "Y" } ) } = 1 "{ INCLUDETEXT
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\piazzaj.000\\Desktop\\Mail Merge

Thank you
