Use the graphics object dialog box to ensure that whatever you want to 
bleed does so.

If you have a solid-colored frame, for example, that you want to bleed 
on three sides of a cover of an A4 document, use the graphics box to set 
the box origin to left= 0 top= -3mm and the size to 213x303mm.

There is no way to see what you have done but it will image OK and crops 
will be in the right place.
