INCLUDEPICTURE use an alternate jpg if MERGEFIELD "filename".jpg is not valid

Question

I keep track of hikes we do in an EXCEL spreadsheet. I use WORD to create journal pages using a lot of MERGEFIELDS. I have clean maps of parks. After we do a hike, I use an editor to draw a route on the clean map of where we hiked producing a route map.

I would like to INCLUDEPICTURE the route map if there is one, otherwise a clean map. For these examples "Death Valley Map.jpg" does exist, "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" does not exist.

I cannot see that "{ IF TRUE ..." ever does anything. Is there some WORD option or switch that needs to be set? My problem is that I cannot get any if test to branch false when the file does not exist.

Test Case	Test Result
{ IF "Death Valley Map.jpg" }	null
{ IF "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" }	null
{ IF "Death Valley Map.jpg" "GoodA" "BadA" }	GoodA
{ IF "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" "GoodB" "BadB" }	GoodB
{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map.jpg" }	Death Valley Map.jpg
{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" }	Death Valley Map Route.jpg
{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map.jpg" "GoodC" "BadC" }	Death Valley Map.jpg
{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" "GoodD" "BadD" }	Death Valley Map Route.jpg
{ IF { IF TRUE "Death Valley Map.jpg" } "GoodE" "BadE" }	GoodE
{ IF { IF TRUE "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" } "GoodF" "BadF" }	GoodF
{ IF { IF TRUE "Death Valley Map.jpg" } <> "" "GoodG" "BadG" }	GoodG
{ IF { IF TRUE "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" } <> "" "GoodH" "BadH" }	GoodH
{ IF { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map.jpg" }" \d } "GoodI" "BadI" }	GoodI
{ IF { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" }" \d } "GoodJ" "BadJ" }	GoodJ
{ IF { IF TRUE { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map.jpg" }" \d } } "GoodK" "BadK" }	GoodK
{ IF { IF TRUE { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" }" \d } } "GoodL" "BadL" }	GoodL
{ IF { IF TRUE { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map.jpg" }" \d } } <> "" "GoodM" "BadM" }	GoodM
{ IF { IF TRUE { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "Death Valley Map Route.jpg" }" \d } } <> "" "GoodN" "BadN" }	GoodN
