I think that the last part of your comment suggests as good a reason as any
to use Includepicture fields rather than attempt to embed the pictures in
the appropriate place.

Luckily, in this case the inclusions are { EMBED } fields and
wrapping IF fields around them seems to work OK, although it wouldn't
surprise me if some types of object embedded OK and others did not,
particularly in a table cell.
Spelling out the field codes isn't quite so clear because EMBED codes
for a particular type of object all look the same, e.g. in this case
I think the user would need
{ IF "[ MERGEFIELD A }" = "Y" "{ IF { MERGEFIELD B }" = "Y" "{ EMBED
Word.Picture.8 }" "{ EMBED Word.Picture.8 }" }" "{ EMBED
Word.Picture.8 }" }
in the first cell and perhaps
{ IF "[ MERGEFIELD A }{ MERGEFIELD B }" = "YY" "{ EMBED
Word.Picture.8 }" "" }
in "another cell", depending on what the actual requirement is. I
don't know of a way to get the correct EMBEDs in the correct places
other either a. doing the embed, displaying the IF field using Alt-F9, and
copying/pasting the EMBED into the correct part of the IF field or
b. (maybe) putting the insertion point in the correct part of the IF
and doing the embed there.

Hmmm.... IncludePicture fields do not usually work when included as a
conditional field result. The IncludePicture field has to be at the
top of the tree - see the workaround at

You need to use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { } and
Alt+F9 to toggle the display of field codes and F9 to update the
fields. See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special
merges"

I have a spreadsheet as a data source. The data in each field is
either a Y
or N. There could be more than one Yes for a record.
A B C D E
1 Y N N N N
2 N Y N N N
3 Y Y N N N
etc
In my merge document, I want to place an embedded object in a table
cell depending on the criteria in the spreadsheet: { If {
mergefield A } = "Y" "
{EMBED Word.Picture.8 }" }
In addition, I would also like to place a different embedded object
if A=N and B=Y in the same cell in merge document.
If A=Y and B=Y, then I would like to place an embedded object in
the first cell in the merge document and a new embedded object in
another cell in the
merge document.
I hope there's some programming language using the "if then"
statements. Thanks
