Working with Shapes in Template Builder for Word

I'm trying to develop a Template using Bi Publisher Template Builder 5.6.3 "10.1.3.2.1" in EBS. I've been referencing documents about adding Shapes or WordArt in Word, but wondering if there's more specific documents or examples using Shapes and/or WordArt.  I've been successful in adding a Shape into the template and adding Text to the shape by using <?shape-text:STATE?> on the Alt Text.  Where I'm struggling with is making that text be conditional. I've attempted

<?if:STATE='Planning'?><?shape-text:STATE?><?end if?> this does allow the STATE to show; however, it doesn't seem to work because the results are the same if I use <?if:STATE='blah'?>.
