Default Puzzling border in table cells

Hi,

I'm using MS Word 2007 and inherited a file created with an earlier
version. It's laid out as a 2 column by 5 row table for business cards,
and the columns have a left-hand border with a heavy line and hairline,
and I can't figure out how to change the border or the color of it. It
doesn't show as a border in the table or cell settings. I'm stymied.
I'd be glad to send someone a copy of the file. Help?

Thanks,

TM

Default Puzzling border in table cells

A cell border wouldn't be useful for business cards, since the cell
boundaries are the card boundaries. Most likely the borders have been
applied to the the cell contents (that is, a paragraph border rather than a
cell border). Alternatively, they might be actual drawing lines.
