>Thanks for your answer.

If you have objects running across the gutter, then quark will take what it needs from across that gutter. If you have objects that run up to the gutter, but not across it, then stop at the gutter. Bleed is for areas to be Cut off by the paper cutter, not for bad saddle stitch jobs by printers. Do not worry about bleed in the gutter, just be exact in stoping objects at the gutter if they are not suppose to be on both pages of a spread. And unless you have picture boxes that repeat on all pages across the gutter in the same place, leave them out of master pages, my opinion.
