Bleed in Illustrator CS3

Hi,

Is there any way of setting up bleed in Illustrator CS3 as you can do with InDesign? i.e. you can see the bleed lines and artboard lines on the files not just when you want to print?

Or do I need to extend my artboard size to include bleed and put crop marks in manually? I'd like to avoid manual crop marks.

I have attaced a screen grab of InDesigns page set up options which includes bleed. This is what I am hoping Illustrator has but I am not feeling like it exists.

Thanks

    Do you mean sth. like this?

    yes, it will show when you start a new file.

    Exactly! Thanks.

    But is there no way of adding this once a file has been created?

    Thanks
