Label merge with textboxes

Greetings, all. I'm trying to print labels including an Indicia in a
textbox. If I just do the straight text box, I'm fine. Then I tried to
make the indicia conditional on the Barcode field not being blank. Up
to a point, that worked: the pages where all the labels have barcodes
print the indicia, and the pages where there is no barcode omit the
indicia.

The problem is the page in the middle. It seems that Word only
evaluates the If...Then...Else once per page, rather than re-evaluating
it for each occurence of the textbox.

Any thoughts on how to convince it otherwise? I could paste the indicia
onto the appropriate labels, or run two different data files, but if I
can make it work as specified above, I'd like to.

Thanks!
