Help with marking cut lines for printer

[kandsuk]

Hi guys. I've been using InDesign for a little while now and this is the first time I've needed to do this: Can someone possibly tell me how (if possible) I can mark up two small cut marks on a page? Here's the reason: I've been tasked with designing our company brochure and I'd like to add two little slots for a business card on the cover flap. I spoke to our printer who said something about "cut marks" or "cut lines" or something (and said, "in Quark it adds pink lines" or something like that) but when I said we were using InDesign, he didn't know... Hope I've explained myself clearly enough...

In your swatch options name a spot color "cut marks" make the color pink (or anycolor you want) then set in not to print. Make two lines with the color you make in the postition then need to be and thats it.
