Default Merge fields in IF statements not working


Any IF statement will do it, so even

{ IF { Mergefield Name } "Fred" "This isn't Fred" "{ Mergefield Name
}" }

for the user who created the mail merge template, it's not a problem,
but all other users word will say that display the normal dialogue box
for Invalid Merge Field for the field in question ie Name.

I have a problem when using an IF statement and then inserting a mail
merge field in to the IF statement. When my user runs the mail merge
it is fine, but when other users run it, Word questions the merge
field in the IF statement and says that it is an invalid merge field.

Any ideas?
