How is it possible to insert marks and bleeds to MS Word document? I know it is possible but very difficult!!!

Can I convert Word document to InDesign or something?

you may want to look to adobe acrobat as a means to an end. it comes with both a "PDF Writer" and "Acrobat Distiller"... both act as regular windows printers, except you'd be printing to a PDF output file. from there, you can open the PDF file in a slew of other programs that could give you easy cropmarks and bleeds (i.e. illustrator, photoshop, etc...)

i know it's a long winded approach, but i've never seen any option for cropmarks and bleeds (PAY ATTENTION MS!)... and i work for a large-scale print shop.

hope this helps.
