Format Switch \* Caps won't work in if..then statement

I have a Word merge document where I am trying to get a certain word merge field to appear with Proper case (first letter of each word is capitalized). If I insert the Mergefield and apply the \* Caps switch thie field appears exactly as I want it to. However if I use the merge field in an if..then..else statement with the same switch, the switch seems to be completely ignored. Here is the exact statement I am using:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1 } = "Annual Giving" "Christian Union Ministry" "{ MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1 \* Caps }" }

I'm using Word 2013. Why won't Word format my field correctly inside this if..the..else statement?

Try:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1 } = "Annual Giving" "Christian Union Ministry" "{ MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1 }" \* Caps }
