MemberThe bleed is only relevant for images, backgrounds etc.
For text, diagrams, photo of faces etc or anything that you need to see or that conveys information should not extend into the trim area and you should allow a margin to the edge of the page of at least 3mm or you may loose some of it when the document is trimmed.
Place a link to an image of what you are trying to do if this does not answer your question.
MemberNot really sure what you mean by ‘move artwork to bleed edge which causes my artwork to lose a section of it’
Yes if you want to have the artwork bleed off the page then you need to make the artwork bleed off the InDesign page and yes you will loose the part that extends past the edge of the page.
Of course bleed will only be the images not any text this will need to stay within the margin normally about 12.5mm to 25mm (I know it depends on the layout) from the pages edge, run the text into the bleed and some of it will be trimmed off.
You need the set up bleed as per your printers instruction, this is normally between 2.5 and 5mm.
This is the part that disappears when you switch from NORMAL to PREVIEW.Output you file to a PDF with all printers marks and you will see where the trim is, where the bleed ends etc. This way you will see what will print and what will be trimmed off during finishing, just make sure nothing vital is in the trim.
MemberBleed is added to all edges of the page, this allow the printer to trim the finished pages and leave no white paper.
Offset printed jobs are imposed in signature usually 8, 16, 24 or 32 pages for printing, to print on both sides the sheets are often run through the press twice, once for each side of the paper (usually work and turn or work and tumble or printed on a perfecter both sides in one pass) cut into spreads and then bound to make the final book, magazine etc. There can be a misalignment between the front and back print and bleed allows for this.
Offset printed jobs are cut in stacks of 500-1000 sheets on a guillotine so there will be some slight misalignment.The bleed disappears from view in InDesign when you switch from NORMAL (bleed shows) to PREVIEW (bleed is hidden) the bleed is there it is just hidden from view.
Bleed needs to be added to all pages in your document unless you want a white boarder on your pages.
Bleed on facing pages is a little different in the way it is handled in prepress but just take you art work to the centre fold between two facing pages.MemberIn the TABLE OF CONTENTS dialogue box in the BETWEEN YOUR ENTRY AND NUMBER box add the EN SPACE before and after the TAB
This will automatically add the space you want when the TOC os generated or updatedMake the character style with the underline style as you want it name this eg TOC Underline
Then in the TOC Paragraph Style add a GREP Style
APPLY STYLE TOC Underline
TO TEXTThis will apply your underline style to the tab only and not the en space either side of it
MemberIn your Paragraph Style add a GREP Style to make the 2 superscript using a Positive Lookbehind to apply a Character Style which will be Superscript, then when every you type this PSM the following 2 will automatically be turned to superscript.

I would try a simple GREP script as below. This will find the filenames in the format you have listed, remove the suffix and change the extension to .tif from .jpg
Will only work when the suffix is an underscore followed but two digits and an uppercase letter and the .jpg
If you don’t want to change the extensionFind
(.+)_\d{2}[\u].jpg
Replace
$1.tifIf you don’t want to change the extension then
Find
(.+)_\d{2}[\u](.jpg)
Change
$1$2Graham
