Default IF fields disappear upon printing

I have a Word doc that is merging data from an Access table (Office XP) and
there are merge fields in the doc (name, address, dates, currency values,
etc...) along with some {IF} fields for 7 classes that may or may not need to
show based on if the class's amount (merge field) is 0.

When the document opens all of the fields appear as needed but as soon as I
either preview or print the document, the {IF} fields will all vanish. Here
are my fields:

{ IF {MergeField Class1Amt } 0 "A. { MergeField Class1Text }" "" }
{ IF {MergeField Class2Amt } 0 "B. { MergeField Class2Text }" "" }
etc...
{ IF {MergeField Class7Amt } 0 "G. { MergeField Class7Text }" "" }

Can anyone give me any clues as to why these IF statements vanish upon
printing?

Thanks in advance.
