Trying to make some timetables but I've set all borders to stroke 0 width and getting some cases where a line border still appears,

Seems like these couple cells are still a bit thicker than the rest somehow.
Some help please.

Strokes and fills are defined at two levels: the Table (style) and the Cell Style. Generally, Cell styles override Table styles, but not always.

 

Be sure to go into the Table style and zero out all fills and strokes, especially the 'Table Border' ones, then use organized Cell styles to paint and pattern your table. That should produce better consistency.

Ok thanks, think I figured it out. Was a problem with fills I think, my mix and matching Paper colour and None. I now made it all Paper colour then recolour the black to paper and black again and seems to have fixed it.

Ah, that, too. It's easy to "forget" about Paper color. Best not to use it, but create a White swatch instead. Glad you found it. Tables can be a pain when you get fancy with them.
