Default Mergefield nested in Includetext doesn't recognize path in WD2007

Hi, I'm trying to convert some mailmerge documents to WD2007 and having a
problem with Includeext that is based on a Mergefield:

{IncludeText "{MergeField PARA_INTERVIEW}"}

Where PARA_INTERVIEW is H:\\interview.doc

Instead of including the file, the string: "H:\\interview.doc" is included
in the merged document instead. Yet if I highlight the string in the merged
document and press Shift F9, it does pull in the document, so it can
successfully find it, for some reason it just doesn't seem to recognize it as
a path in the original merge. Any suggestions how to deal with this? I've
tried every combination of double quotes and backslashes I can think of.
