QUESTION:
When I put the following line in subheader1
   DFWrite '#zerosubpagecount#'    // Start with page 1 again
This does not work.
e.g. VDF7 page 1, page 2, break, page 1, page 2
e.g.VDF11 page 1, page 3, break, page 3, page 4, page 5 which is blank

Is #zerosubpagecount# broken?

ANSWER:
#zerosubpagecount# will clear the counter that WinPrint uses when substituting the #subpagecount# symbol.

Example:

DFWrite    "#zerosubpagecount#"
DFWriteln  "Page: #subpagecount#"    (FONT_DEFAULT)

Should print "Page: 0"

I would not try combining these symbols in the same physical DFWrite command.


Note:
When in a header procedure, the DFWriteln "#zerosubpagecount#" has to be wrapped in a DFBeginHeader DFEndHeader block.
