SUMMARYYou cannot insert a table or a linked graphic into a Word document as the result of an IF field that contains INCLUDE, IMPORT, or AUTOTEXT (or GLOSSARY field in Word 1.x and 2.x) fields. WORKAROUNDTo display a linked graphic or a table as the result of a conditional IF field, nest the IF field inside an INCLUDE, IMPORT, or AUTOTEXT (or GLOSSARY) field, so that the IF field updates first. For example, you could nest the fields as follows: {INCLUDE {IF conditionalTest table.doc falseResult}} MORE INFORMATION
The following examples illustrate the problem that occurs when you try
to insert a linked graphic or table as the result of an INCLUDE,
IMPORT, or AUTOTEXT (or GLOSSARY) field nested inside an IF field.
{if conditionalTest {include TABLE.DOC} falseResult}If conditionalTest is true in any of the above examples, the table or picture will not display when you update the field. Any text above or below the table in either TABLE.DOC or the table glossary will display correctly. Any text above or below the graphic in the picture glossary will display correctly. Embedded graphics and graphics that are not linked will display correctly.
