    Hello,

    I have create a rectangle over my pages or spreads. I just need to know if the rectangle should just be the size of the page or spread or does it not matter if the recatanle goes past the page border? I would appreciate any help.

    Thank you,

    Brad

    If you want the rectangle to cover the entire page in the final printed version, then you'll need to take it out a little past the edge and add bleeds to your document (in Document Setup), so that the printer can be sure they're not going to leave a while line down one edge due to a slight misalignment when they come to trim the pages. Ask your printer what size bleeds they want; 3mm is standard in the UK and (I believe) 5mm is preferred in the US.

    If you're not planning on printing the document, then I suspect it doesn't matter.

    You can just go ahead and extend the frame past the edges of the page anyway. No harm. If it's not printed then there's no difference. If it is getting printed the at least it's there.
