Are you both in the same version of software, operating system? How do you have the type selected. It could be a difference between selecting with Text tool or Selection tool before Creating Outlines. Are both using Create Outlines or is one of the examples using expand appearance?

No, create outline definitely, we tried to do everything in the same way, including using short key to create outline, from the menu button, but the outcome are the same, her stroke are all separate, mine is combine together.
