Hello

I have a counter "i" in a for loop.

In order to work out when to display
information at a certain increment
I would like to display "i" on the screen
(for my own information) when the programme is running.

I would like it at the bottom left but I
can't find how to do this in the very helpful
help files.

Any ideas please?

1. create a page / publication variable.

Easiest way is to create text-box and right click in the box and use insert variable > new button. Give it a name and select type number.

Then your for loop looks like this:



Note the absence of the standard var keyword as you're using the variable on-screen it can't be locally scoped.

I also suggest, using a different naming notation for local and global (page / publication) variables to make them easier to identify. Such as myLoop.
