    Default Margin guides visibility when bleeding?

    I am currently working on a ID 2 pub that has a number of bleeds and have noticed that page margin guides are not visible when a solid object is bled. Not finding anything in Help, I have added guides manually to indicate the page margin.

    I have checked QuarkXPress 5 and have found that the page margins are visible in such cases.

    I realize that manual guides can be set to be front and back but I can find nothing about page margin guides.

    Is there a way of seeing margins in ID 2?

    InDesign Preferences > Guides > Make sure Guides in Back is unchecked. To see the boundaries (trim) of the page, you'll need to drag out ruler guides.

    This is fixed in InDesign CS.

    Thanks, Steve.

    It is good to see that it has been fixed in CS. Just when we upgrade to the CS suite is in the lap of the beancounting gods.
