Hi There,
I am very new to Indesign and learning on different tools and elements. I need to create a table with alternating row colors with no borders. I can create and turn off the borders, no problem. But I can see a very thin shade of border (it is actually not a border as I have turned it off) appears at the bottom of the last row and left side of the table. I can't figure out from where it can be turned off completely. Please note that I have set table border color to "None" as well. Please see the screenshot below:
Do you have an idea how to remove border like appearance from the indesign table?
Can you try to create a new table and see if the issue is still there without copying that contents of the old table? I just created a table with similar settings as you did and did not have this issue. If you don't have the issue with a fresh table I guess there are some settings wrong in your current table.

Are you sure it's not a display error? When you zoom in, does the border get bigger? If not, it's a display error.

Thanks for your response. Even if I save it as Adobe PDF, the PDF has this thin border like structure.

Adobe Acrobat also has display errors. So if you zoom in, does the border get bigger? If yes we have to keep brainstorming 🙂

Even in PDF with 150% zoom, those thin borders can be seen. Attached image is the screenshot from the PDF. Please note that I have added dotted border for rows in this version.

No, I don't have those thin lines in a newly created table with altering fill colors. Thankyou very much for heading me up to that point. Your solution was great!
