Help, setting up bleed for 8x10, in Indesign v.5

Hello,

I hope someone can help with this.  I still use Indesign version 5, and I am wanting to set up my children's book for publishing, an 8x10 size.   I attached a screenshot of it all.   When I try to change the Bleed to recommended size (look for orange arrow) it tells me "value must be between 0-6 inches." 

 

Please, if someone could please help me with how to fix this?

Paul

If the illustrated picture I've used turns out to be about under 100 ppi, I just need to work on upscaling the original Drawing to be larger and sharper in it's quality, before converting it into PDF file into the Indesign??


Presumably you've checked the Effective PPI in InDesign and that's why you know the resolution is 100PPI?
If so, you  can Upscale the image in Photoshop and afterwards apply a little sharpening. If you Place the image in InDesign a native PSD document you can round trip between InDesign and Photoshop. The text should be applied in InDesign.

Hello, I've returned with some new trouble relating to this.   Yes, I set 8x10, use it is 0.125 on all bleeds except the inside as you taught me.   But when I save it all as a PDY, the page size keeps coming out as 8.71 x 10.83.   I can screenshot what ever you'd want as reference, but what am I doing wrong for it save as that incorrect page size?

Here's a screenshot of how you might set up a new 10 x 8 inch document in InDesign. I haven't added the margins or number of pages, as they are your choice.

 Here's a screenshot of how you might export the InDesign document to PDF. You will normally select single Pages (not Spreads) and select "Crop Marks " (if your printer wants them) and tick "Use Document Bleed Settings".

Does the Inside have to be 0.125 also?

Changed all bleeds to the 0.125    So if you look at my image reference, does this now mean I'd want to picture to stop right at the red line (bleed)?

You appear to be adding about 10 inches of bleed on one edge, change it to 1/8 inch – (unlink) it and apply 1/8 bleed to the top, bottom and to the outside.  Your choice for margins.
