IF field based on Title not providing alternative text

What is wrong with this field formula?

IF {Title}=Production "Project Manager" "Cover Designer"

In the document, Project Manager appears when I enter Production in the
Title box of the Properties dialog box; but when I edit it to Cover, Project
Manager continues to appear. I tried updating (F9 as well as Update Field
from the right-click menu) and I tried unlocking (Ctrl+Shift+F11).

I'm sure there's something obviously wrong with my syntax that I just can't
see.

Many thanks

Should be:
{IF{DOCPROPERTY "Title"}= "Production" "Project Manager" "Cover Designer"}
if you're using the DOCPROPERTY, or:
{IF{DOCPROPERTY "Title"}= "Production" "Project Manager" "Cover Designer"}
If 'title' is a bookmark

Cheers

Correction:

Should be:
{IF{DOCPROPERTY "Title"}= "Production" "Project Manager" "Cover
Designer"}
if you're using the DOCPROPERTY, or:
{IF{Title}= "Production" "Project Manager" "Cover Designer"}
If 'title' is a bookmark.

Cheers
