Paragraph border not functioning correctly

[Michael J B]

I have paragraph styles for various border options.

One of them has a border at top only - it functions as expected everywhere except in one file. Attached images are as follows:

• Screen Shot 01: Border settings;

• Screen Shot 02: Preview view mode showing a double border line rather than the expected single line;

• Screen Shot 03: Normal view mode showing a double border line rather than the expected single line.

What is causing the double line ?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like a double hard return to me. What if you delete empty hard returns (which should be the practice when you control text with Paragraph Styles)?
