How did you set the bleeds, Peter? I mentioned in another post that I set the top, bottom and outside bleeds to 5mm and the inside to 0mm, for a two page spread, but it ended up with bleed and an overlap region on the inside (middle). I've spoken to a few printers about this and some seemed to think it wouldn't be a problem (but maybe I didn't explain it clearly!), and others weren't sure. Jim
