A simple if then that adds 1 to an integer variable needed

[ben robinson]

you are very, very close!

under the View drop-down menu, select Script, then click on the User tab at
the bottom of the Script window.
here you will type:
Dim count as Integer

in your inline, prior to your text object just type:
count = count+1
If count = 5 Then Goto Label1

and put your Label1 object after your text object.  that should do it.
