In the absence of true bleeds here is what I do in 1.2.x or 1.3.2cvs. 1.3.2 makes it a bit easier, but I even recently did this for a cover layout with 1.2.4cvs when we were breaking 1.3.2cvs a bit. I create what ever pages and layout I need, then copy the pages over to a page into a new doc which has pages 1 inch larger dimensions all around. Then those items which need to bleed, get resized to meet the bleed requirements - typically .25" or 3 cm. It sounds like more work than it is and I have had to do the same with PDF's created with Indesign in the past when a printer changed requirements on my client at the last minute. Hope that helps, Peter
