Annu,
   As others have explained, you cannot make paragraph tags conditional. 
Since what you want to do, however, is to show or hide table titles, there 
are at least a couple of techniques you can try:

1) Move the table titles into heading rows that straddle all columns. You 
can make a table row conditional.

2) Edit the document with table titles showing. You can delete the table 
titles by changing the Title Position property in the table format to No 
Title. If you want to change only some table titles, you can set this 
property only for tables with a particular table tag, or for tables with a 
tag containing a specified string. Just make sure not to save this version 
of the file unless you give it a new name; the table titles really will be 
gone.
