Default 2003 - Extra Lines or Borders in Table

We've noticed extra lines or borders around the text inside of cells in a
table. They are faint and only appear when the document is printed. Not in
print preview or other views.

The problem starts after a table is created and the some format changes are
made such as bolding. We thought they might be paragraph borders, I've
played with those and that doesn't help. Well it might for the first print
afterwards but save the doc and change the format or simply reopen the doc
down the line and the add'l lines, borders or boxes reappear in the print.

Help!

Possibly change bars? Is Track Changes enabled?

Nope, track changes is off.

These can actually look like boxes around the text inside the cell. It
behaves like borders around text, but that isn't set either. It's not normal
table borders, tried adding and removing borders has no effect on them.

Borders can be applied to table cells (when appropriate), paragraphs, or
selected text. Be sure you check all three when looking at text in a table
cell.

Suzanne~

Did that.

This isn't just 1 random doc. It's lots, created by different people (so
far 8 have reported the problem), different printers and printer models.

I'm out of ideas, but if you want to send me a sample doc, I'll take a look
and see if I can see anything.
