You didn't mention whether your colleague verified that the border was
"there" through Format | Borders, etc. I've had similar problems w/Word not
displaying all of the borders in table(s) properly, either onscreen or thru
Print Preview.
If it's just the display and she wants to correct it, she could try a few
things:
1. Switch to Normal View.
2. Turn off the option to show spelling/grammar mistakes on screen.
3. Save doc, exit and restart Word.
One or a combination of these has worked for me in the past.
