In my versions of quark (5, 6.1 & 6.5), I'm having no luck setting up bleeds. If I do a dummy page with, say a part of an image running on to the pasteboard, then go to FILE...Page Setup...Bleed, all the boxes are greyed out. Any clues? (I normally have "Custom Bleeds Xtension" enabled).

Try Utilities--Xtensions Manager and see if indeed Custom Bleeds are still enabled. Also be sure in PageSetup--Bleed that you're not set to "Page Items".
If that isn't the fix, I'd close Quark and trash the Preference file.
