Pull guides from InDesign’s rulers and position them 1/8 inch outside the boundaries of the document.
Elements that bleed off the page snap to those guides, giving even margins all around.
A separate guide can be positioned beneath the document to indicate the slug location.
If you don’t see them, clickView>Show Rulers.
To turn them off, go toView>Hide Rulers.
Guides can be pulled from either ruler and positioned in the document as margins or on the pasteboard.
