Default Swapping between 2 tables using if then else

I am trying to figure out if I am sleepy and missing an obvious step or if Word doesn't like what I am doing.

I have a bilingual document. Based on a single number language flag, I want to display an English table or a French table. [The merged data in the table is the similar but the headers vary.]

I can't get it to accept a table in the if or the else fields. I can only get the first table I paste to display.

Even when I move to a less complex table with fewer rows and merge fields, the same bad things happen.

Is this a known issue or something with a klunky workaround?

I really don't want to have to interlace the English and the French responses by hand into a single merged document.
